The town has two old market halls dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. While one of them has been closed for renovation into a community hall, the second has remained open and hosts local events and hikers looking for a pleasant spot to picnic and rest.

The Oëtre rocks offer a natural belvedere overlooking the Rouvre gorges. Don’t hesitate to stop by the Pavillon de la Roche d’Oëtre or the Maison de la Rivière et du Paysage. They will be able to inform you about the fauna, flora and the natural site more generally.

Large lake in the Orne department, located in Suisse Normande. Artificial lake, but very well preserved and landscaped, you can walk there, with even the presence of a restaurant boat during the holidays!
