With a 12th century castle built by the son of the Conqueror, a preserved Norman Romanesque church, cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses, and not forgetting the unique St Julien church – built from reinforced concrete and decorated with Byzantine and art-deco motifs, located a lush setting 200 metres above the sea – no wonder this town has been named one of the “Plus Beau Détour de France” (Most Beautiful Detours in France) and “Petite Cité de Caractère de l’Orne” (Small Town of Character in Orne) since the creation of these labels!
