Nogent-le-Rotrou Castle

Highlight • Castle

This ancient fortified castle dominates the Huisne Valley at 360° with its imposing keep. The building, with its troubled history, has undergone numerous modifications in its architecture and functions. A visit is essential to understand the complexity of its history and to observe the architectural evolutions.

Above the Huisne

Highlight • Other

The Huisne is a river in central France, flowing in the regions of Normandy, Centre-Val de Loire and Pays de la Loire. It rises in the municipality of La Perrière, in the Perche Regional Nature Park, initially drains to the northeast, later to the southeast, finally turns to the southwest near Condé-sur-Huisne and, after around 165[2] kilometres, flows into the Sarthe in Le Mans as a left tributary.

Voie verte in Dorceau

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path on the former railway embankment is comparatively flat. In summer wonderfully shady through the many trees.

Old railway station

Highlight • Other

The old stations along the greenway are a small piece of the railway heritage and the intensity that there was at the time. It is with great humility that I discover each of them.

Former Rémalard-Bellou Station

Highlight • Structure

Opened in 1873 to goods and in 1874 to passengers, the railway operated for 110 years. We took the train at 5:53 a.m. in Condé to arrive at 8:49 a.m. in Alençon, after a 20-minute stop in Mortagne. Thirteen stations punctuated the route, including that of Rémalard-Bellou which also had its freight station serving, among other things, the cider house, where the BFC factory has since been established.

In 1934, the red and cream diesel micheline replaced the steam locomotive. The Japanese and the Americans continue to use the line to go in search of Percheron horses.

Then, passenger traffic ceased in 1954. Portions of the lines were still used until the 1980s by companies along the route. Since June 2010, the old railway line has become the Voie Verte.

Alençon–Condé-sur-Huisne Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This greenway is a towpath which winds between forests and meadows.

This crossing may seem a little monotonous, but it is punctuated by old stations which are generally inhabited and maintained.
