General presentation
Perche
Boccar hills, manor houses, forests, villages, markets and quiet weekends.
To understand what Perche is, you have to look at Mortagne-au-Perche, Forests and Villages and Manors. These places provide a landscape marked by the countryside, forests and heritage, and allow you to move from iconic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very quiet rhythm. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
City
Mortagne-au-Perche
Mortagne-au-Perche keeps a look of small rural capital, with private hotels, old alleys and escaped to the hills of Perche. The centre is suitable for short stops, between noble facades, quiet shops and souvenirs of black boudin, a local specialty well anchored.
City
Bellême
Bellême organizes around its old perched centre, with doors, old houses and views to the nearby forest. The quiet streets, workshops and stone facades make up a neat, interesting stage for those who like the villages where the countryside remains visible at the end of the horizon.
City
Nogent-le-Rotrou
Nogent-le-Rotrou reads first by dialogue between relief, shopping street and structural remains. The stops in front of the facades, then in height, give a more precise reading of the relationship between past and contemporary uses. The journey is appreciated by alternating discovery of the centre and short escapes to open spaces.
Forest
Forêt de Bellême
The Bellême Forest alternates dense areas and luminous corridors that accompany a very incarnate walk. The relief also gives relief to the story: you slow down as you climb, then you resume faster in the flater parts. The experience remains simple, based on the sound of the steps and the light cuts.
