Itinerary details
Description
This circuit allows you to roam around the rolling countryside that surrounds one of the five baronies of Perche Gouet: Authon-du-Perche. From village to village, the peaceful paths link together discreetly-built châteaux and manor houses hidden in small valleys or at the tops of hills. In springtime, the wooded countryside comes alive, whereas autumn and winter bring the buildings to the forefront. Originally, these discreet locations, Saint-Lubin-des-Cinq-Fonts, Saint-Bomer and Saint-Ulphace, were several parishes that housed devout hermits, but they are also the origin of legendary tales such as the famous 'Fés de la Guillemetière'and 'Grenouilles de la Grève.'
