The vestiges of this iron and steel unit, the most representative of ancient metallurgy in Normandy, stopped operating in 1866. New this year, presentation of Norman barnyard.

Sainte-Geneviève Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

You might not think so at first glance, but this little chapel is an important place in Bagnoles-de-l'Orne. Erected in 1856 and destroyed in 1923, it was rebuilt in 1939 to become a popular place to stroll from the spa.

Young women wishing to marry came to register their name there to find a companion within the year. In the 20th century, many festivals were also organized there. Today, the place is calmer and lends itself rather to collection.

Gione riverbed.

Highlight • Other

Combine history, legend and nature, by stopping at the Le lit de la Gione dolmen in Juvigny-sous-Andaine. This ancient megalithic monument is said to be the home of an evil fairy named La Gione, who harassed the region's peasants until they trapped her with a frying pan. You will be able to admire the enormous blocks of stone that form the dolmen and imagine the stories that surround them.
