From Nogent-le-Rotrou to Rémalard
This walk is the first stage of an eight-day, 220 km route, the Tour des Collines du Perche.
This first stage, from Nogent-Le-Rotrou to Rémalard, will be your first taste of what characterises the splendid landscapes of the Perche: forests criss-crossed by sunken lanes, meandering rivers, and, along the way, chapels, fountains, wells and a few manor houses.
Tour of the Perche Hills
The Tour des Collines du Perche will take you on a journey through the Perche regions of Orne and Eure-et-Loir, with its bocage, hills, valleys and forests (offspring of the famous Forêt des Carnutes), all set against the backdrop of its many manor houses, churches, chapels and a thousand other sites.
You are sure to be amazed by the diversity of the landscapes you will pass through during a journey that takes you through typical Perche towns and villages, steeped in history.
From Moutiers-au-Perche to La Ferté-Vidame
This hike is the third stage of an eight-day, 200 km route, the Tour des Collines du Perche.The route leaves the beautiful village of Moutiers-au-Perche, above the church, and immediately enters the woods. It then passes through a beautiful valley and a long stretch of forest before reaching the grain-growing plains of the Eure valley. It then reaches the woods of Neuilly and the forest of La Ferté-Vidame, which it crosses to reach the small town of La Ferté-Vidame.
From La Ferté-Vidame to Tourouvre
This hike is the fourth stage of an eight-day, 220 km circuit, the Tour des Collines du Perche.
Thisfourth stage takes us along part of the northern edge of the Grand Perche with its large forests, which have changed very little since medieval times.
From Tourouvre to Mortagne-au-Perche
This hike is the fifth stage of an eight-day, 220 km route, the Tour des Collines du Perche.
The hike takes a long detour via Autheuil and the Réno-Valdieu forest before heading towards Mortagne-au-Perche, one of the three historic capitals of the former province of Perche.
From Mortagne-au-Perche to La Perrière
This walk is the sixth stage of the Tour des Collines du Perche. It starts in an iconic town and ends in an iconic village of the Perche region, both of which are very popular with Parisians seeking historic architecture and beautiful scenery. As both are situated on high ground, the panoramic views are remarkable.
From La Perrière to Saint-Germain-de-la-Coudre via Igé
This walk is one of two variants of the seventh stage of an eight-day, 220-km route, the Tour des Collines du Perche.
After leaving La Perrière, the walk enters the Bellême national forest, emerges to the south into very hilly countryside and arrives in the village of Vaunoise with its Cenomanian cuesta terrain. After Igé, the route continues along quiet country lanes, then some very beautiful sunken paths.
From Saint-Germain-de-la-Coudre to Nogent-le-Rotrou
This walk is the eighth and final stage of an eight-day, 220km route, the Tour des Collines du Perche.
Setting off from Saint-Germain-de-la-Coudre, you will first pass through the Bois de la Bretèche, situated on a plateau on the left bank of the Huisne, which you will cross at Le Theil. The route, offering plenty of panoramic views, will take you to Nogent-le-Rotrou at the foot of Château Saint-Jean. All that remains then is to walk through the historic districts of Le Pâty.
La Perrière – Saint-Germain-de-la-Coudre via Bellême
This walk is one of two variants of the seventh stage of an eight-day, 220 km route, the Tour des Collines du Perche. It will take you along the edge of the Bellême Forest until you reach one of the jewels of the Perche region in the Orne, Bellême, which you’ll certainly want to visit. The route then heads south, passing through La-Chapelle-Souëf and then Saint-Germain-de-la-Coudre.
Mortagne-au-Perche – Bellême, alternative route via Mauves-sur-Huisne
This section is a variant of the Tour des Collines du Perche. It links Mortagne-au-Perche to Bellême, both of which are former historic capitals of the Perche region. The first part of the route follows the old Alençon–Condé-sur-Huisne railway line, which has been converted into a greenway and now forms part of the Paris–Le Mont Saint-Michel cycle route.
You will then reach Bellême mainly via some very beautiful natural paths and very short stretches of tarmac.
