With its hills, forests, and hidden, refined manor houses, the Perche reveals the heritage of a former historical province that now spans the Orne, Eure-et-Loir, Sarthe, and Loir-et-Cher departments.

In Nogent-le-Rotrou, the imposing castle of the Counts of Perche overlooks the town, while in the nearby forests, the powerful Percheron horse still helps maintain the natural landscapes. Handcrafted weathervanes, historic residences, and traditional crafts further enrich the experience.

Mortagne-au-Perche, a former fortified town favored by the Counts and Countesses of Perche, preserves numerous architectural treasures. The region also boasts the spectacular Basilica of Montligeon, the ruins of La Ferté-Vidame, and La Perrière, where a remarkable artisanal tradition—beaded net making—continues to thrive.

The magic of the Perche region extends to its forests and its cuisine. In Mortagne, black pudding has become a true local institution. Between its heritage, crafts, bucolic landscapes, and traditions, the Perche region offers a unique and gentle way of life.
