Moutiers is one of the oldest villages in the Perche region, built around a monastery founded in the 6th century and destroyed by the Norman invasions. This is where the village's name comes from, since "Moutiers" means monastery in Old French. On the slopes of the hill, called Mont Harou, stands the church, flanked by a few typical Perche houses that form the old town. To reach it, you'll have to navigate the steep, straight climb of Church Street or take a detour through small streets that soften the steepness of the climb. The church square offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Don't forget to walk around the church to admire the gargoyles, which are quite exceptional for such a small church. Restrooms and water are available right next door.

The Huisne is a river in central France, flowing in the regions of Normandy, Centre-Val de Loire and Pays de la Loire. It rises in the municipality of La Perrière, in the Perche Regional Nature Park, initially drains to the northeast, later to the southeast, finally turns to the southwest near Condé-sur-Huisne and, after around 165[2] kilometres, flows into the Sarthe in Le Mans as a left tributary.

Be careful, the climb is not easy!!!

Near the greenway.

The building now houses a restaurant “En Gare”. This is absolutely recommended! So be sure to make a reservation and treat yourself to culinary delights. (3-course menu for 19 euros)!

Of Romanesque origin, the predominantly Grison building consisted of a single central bay. Significantly altered during the 19th century, the church was increased by two chapels. The old octagonal bell tower which stood above the roof was demolished and replaced by the current tower. Two tombstones located behind the current master testify to this old historic town; that of Nicolas de Menou, knight, died in 1271 and that of Hélène d'Illiers (wife of Jean d'O, adviser to King Henry III) who died in 1610 and whose arms can be found on the door of the church.
