Attractions

Being on the edge of the forest of Perseigne, we attract many visitors who enjoy walking and cycling. Horses and ponies can be hired by the day at the nearby village of Neufchatel.

Alençon's pretty, cobbled town centre, shops, parks and imposing gothic church of Our Lady are well worth a visit. You will find numerous restaurants, bars and bistros in Alençon.

At Ancinnes you will find a wooded fishing lake and tennis courts, mountain bike trails and walking routes. Close by there are riding stables, golf, miniature golf, bowling, canoe-kayak, an aquatic centre, medieval towns and villages, chateaux and gardens.
