Manoirs entre Berthe et Ronne - n°5

44 rue Villette Gâté, Office de Tourisme, 28400 Nogent-le-Rotrou

Beautiful hills punctuate this challenging route around the Ronne and Berthe valleys, which you will mostly be riding above. The hills of the Perche region are ever-present, and you’ll catch sight of a few private manor houses – a distinctive feature of the Perche’s architectural heritage.

As you’ll see whilst driving along the country lanes of the Perche Nogentais, the landscape is very rugged… But you’ll discover, nestled in the valleys or perched on the hillsides, stately manor houses, pretty rural churches and hamlets with their russet-tiled roofs. And to take in this bountiful countryside, there’s no better vantage point than the circular enclosure of Château Saint-Jean, one of the few 11th-century rectangular keep towers in France. From this commanding vantage point, you may be lucky enough to admire the peaceful, sturdy Percheron horses in their meadows along the banks of the Ronne or the Cloche. For those who want to see the foals at play, spring is the best time to visit, following the ‘Percheval’ medieval festival.
