The church, built on the foundations of a small Gallo-Roman temple, is one of the principal Romanesque buildings in Normandy. It houses the organ by Parizot (1745-1746). On the outskirts of the church, the Guibray Fair was established by William the Conqueror. Starting on the Wednesday before the Assumption, it hosted merchants selling cloth, hides, fabrics, and silks. This important fair also allowed the Falaise region to sell its agricultural products. The largest fair in the west, second in France after Beaucaire, it was as renowned as those in Troyes or Provins. Its famous horse fair lasted until the early 20th century.

Be careful, part of the route is no longer accessible because of a private road (fence), which requires you to turn around. Very pretty route but very quickly muddy in wet weather.

Large lake in the Orne department, located in Suisse Normande. Artificial lake, but very well preserved and landscaped, you can walk there, with even the presence of a restaurant boat during the holidays!
