Discover Bellême, a Petite Cité de Caractère® (Small Town of Character), on this tour that highlights its rich heritage.

Following the sunken lanes of the Perche and the rolling hills, the route passes through the village of Gemages, the Angenardière Manor and the Priory of Sainte-Gauburge with its Ecomuseum. The return journey to L’Hermitière takes you through the Bois des Baronnières, which overlooks Le Theil.
