You only need to rise a little to have beautiful views. Here, the view overlooks the Risle valley and the small village of Champignolle which inevitably makes you think of Spirou's comic strip.

This small village in the Pays d'Ouche (36 inhabitants at the last census) is located on the edge of the right bank of the Risle, at the foot of a very steep hill. It presents itself as the dreamed rural space. All the parameters of rurality are combined, the topography of the site which protects a vast open valley where the Risle runs, the hills framed by woods, forests and copses, the tidy Norman houses of vernacular proportions built in half-timbered buildings. , flint and stone. What is most striking is the quiet preservation of the site, no disturbance linked to the intrusion of constructions out of step with the spirit of the place. The road which descends on the hillside from the secondary road, takes place through the forest. For cyclists, this is the opportunity for a nice dry climb to do from the river.

La Ferrière-sur-Risle is a typically Norman village in the Pays d'Ouche, taking its name from the surrounding iron deposits. In the 13th century, it was a small, prosperous town with many businesses. The presence of a typical market hall on the large square in the town center and magnificent Norman corbelled houses still bear witness to this era. It is also the smallest commune in Normandy since it covers only 17 hectares.
