The village of La Roche-Mabileand its thousand-year-old church
I like to go to La Roche-Mabile. This thousand-year-old village has one of the oldest churches in the Orne. Its steeple dominates the village and an ancient statue of St Peter can be seen on its façade. When you push open the door, you find yourself immersed in a calm and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a short break.
Walk around and you’ll see that the village has retained its authentic charm, with its narrow streets and old houses.
Don’t hesitate to take a stroll along the banks of the River Sarthon below, to cool off in the shade of the trees. Then walk a few metres to the unusual wooden chapel of La Cassine.
The surrounding area is also great for walking or cycling: lush green valleys, narrow country lanes, and viewpoints where you can really breathe in nature. Personally, I love taking a notebook with me to sketch a landscape, take my Polaroid with me or just enjoy a moment out of time.
