La Ronde Calaisienne

72120 Saint-Calais

The development of Saint-Calais is evident in its town planning, which took shape in the Middle Ages on both sides of the River Anille. On the right bank, the former abbey site, founded in the 6th century, is still visible in the two tall gables of the main building of the current resource centre. During the Revolution, it gave way to another administrative centre with imposing buildings and the straight streets typical of the 19th century. On the left-hand side, on the hillside between the river and the castle founded in the 11th century to counter the powerful abbey, you will easily recognise the medieval quarter, laid out along the axis of the Grande Rue on an irregular and densely packed grid of plots. A map and full description of the route are available in the ‘Guide Rando du Perche Sarthois’ (50 routes). On sale at tourist information offices in the Perche Sarthois region for €10.
