La Roche-Mabile

Highlight • Settlement

La Roche Mabile is a small village of barely 150 inhabitants, but the landscapes are worth seeing. Stone houses, small paths and hilly landscapes make La Roche Mabile a magnificent passage along the Véloscénie.

Carrouges

Highlight • Settlement

On the occasion of the veloscenie, I finished my first day here. You should know that Carrouges is a town located at an altitude of 320 meters, on the northern slope of the signal d'Écouves, the highest peak in Normandy (417 meters). In other words, Carrouges, it must be earned.

View of the Château de Carrouges

Highlight • Viewpoint

Going down the main street of Carrouges in the direction of cars of the orne we see the first buildings and annex of the Chateau de Carrouges which is sublime.

Carrouges Castle

Highlight • Castle

Seven centuries of history. Carrouges was first in the 14th century a stronghold of the Hundred Years War (dungeon). It became a stately home in the 15th century (Blosset wing), augmented in the 16th century by an entrance gatehouse considered to be the first witness to Renaissance architecture in Normandy. Once again fortified at the time of the Wars of Religion (western bastion), its function as a prestigious residence was confirmed by the construction at the end of the 16th century of two "classic" wings and the stairs which serve them by the architect François Gabriel.

Famous hosts. The Lords of Carrouges received King Louis XI in 1473 then Catherine de Medici and her retinue in 1570.

Notre-Dame de Lourdes chapel in Lignières-la-Doucelle

Highlight • Other

The chapel of Notre-Dame de Lourdes, known as the Calvary, was built in 1860 in white stone.

Nevertheless, the building would currently need a restoration to find all its splendor.

Impressive chapel - a beautiful place for a break

Highlight • Other

The Notre-Dame chapel in Lignières-Orgères with its park-like garden is ideal for a break. Approaching from the east or south, you can see the first granite houses in this town and notice that you are slowly approaching Normandy or Brittany.
