Cette agréable randonnée vous permettra de découvrir ce petit coin de Normandie un peu méconnu car loin des lieux touristiques. On croise en chemin le joli Château de la Mésangère, un bel étang perdu en forêt mais surtout le Chêne à la Vierge de la Mésangère. Cet arbre remarquable est assurément l'un des plus beaux (si ce n'est le plus beau) de toute la région.

L'Oison was formerly known as Le Bec, Le Becquet (from the Norse bekkr meaning stream), but also Le Dué or Douet (from the Celtic four meaning running water). Discover beautiful Norman houses as well as around twenty species of wild orchids growing in the valley, which is classified as a natural area of faunistic and floristic interest. The Fontaine Sainte-Clothilde, a miraculous spring, was for a long time a popular place of pilgrimage for the healing of all kinds of ailments. It is said that it gave strength to children who were slow to walk, who were then immersed in the very cold water of the spring.

Starting from La Saussaye, the path quickly opens up onto alternating undergrowth and small country lanes. The route allows you to enjoy a peaceful, green rural environment. After a pleasant warm-up, you reach Saint-Germain-de-Pasquier, a charming Norman village known for having the smallest town hall in France: with a surface area of around 8 m² (2.7 metres by 3), it is indeed one of the smallest town halls in France, listed in the Guinness Book of Records. It is housed in the former Sainte-Clotilde chapel, which was deconsecrated at the beginning of the 20th century and converted by a naval architect accustomed to small spaces. A short photo break is a must before continuing on to the Saint-Louis Collegiate Church, a beautiful building whose architecture combines simplicity and elegance.

As you wander through the streets and lanes of La Saussaye, you will discover a number of ponds and learn of their purpose, preserved in the memories of the older generation.

At that time, the square was surrounded by walls and entry was via either the lower gate or the upper gate, the only one remaining today. As you continue, you’ll discover some of La Saussaye’s hidden gems, such as the Saint-Louis Collegiate Church, the bell-ringer’s house, the Clos Saint-Nicolas where André Maurois lived from 1919 to 1926, and the Pommeraie, another beautiful residence with its pond and French garden.

Far from the towns and the hustle and bustle of human activity, enjoy a bucolic stroll through the woods and meadows of Normandy.
