> Pays du perche

Welcome to the Pays du Perche, a former historic province. The gentle landscape is the first thing you notice, with a succession of softly rolling hills, rich meadows and remarkable forests of beech trees and ancient oaks around Bellême and in the Massif de Réno-Valdieu. The character manor houses and buildings rendered in ochre bring flashes of colour to an area dominated by the Percheron, the noble workhorse. The harmonious architectural proportions of the old towns of Bellême, Mortagne and Nogent le Rotrou invite you to right into their heart. Le Perche, a land of emigration in the 17th century, has retained strong links with Canada. Today many former emigrants return to Le Perche to rediscover their origins and explore the area like a work of art.
