In the heart of Perche, Bellême, a medieval village, is full of charm. Its location, on a hill, and its proximity to the forest that bears its name, make it a village integrated into the landscape. This of course reinforces its fine reputation.

Among all the villages in the region, Bellême is undoubtedly one of the most charming. No wonder it was the capital of the ancient county of Perche. Wandering through the medieval atmosphere of its streets is a delight.

Surrounded by trees, this lake is at its most beautiful in autumn, when orange-yellow hues are reflected on the surface of the lake. But this lake wasn't always like this. From a marshy pond, it was developed at the end of the 18th century.

A beautiful little village that stands out for its charming houoses and characterful buildings. So much so that it has obtained the Petites Cités de Caractère® label.
