A Patchwork landscape
 | | © CDT Orne |
A mere hop away from Paris, the Mont-Saint-Michel and the Normandy coast, the Orne is a patchwork landscape with skies and luminosity that will amaze you, whatever the season.
Discover the gentle hills of the Perche, scattered with mansions, the rivers and pools of the verdant Pays d'Ouche, the Pays-d'Argentan-Pays d'Auge with its stud farms and orchards, the Bocage with its vast pastures dotted with pear trees, the Suisse Normande and its steep slopes and, finally, the Alpes Mancelles of the Pays d'Alençon.
The Orne also boasts the extensive woodlands of the Andaine and the Ecouves, the magnificent forests of the Perche with its hundred year oaks.
When you visit Bagnoles-de-l'Orne, fall in love with its romantic spa and touristic centre.
