When exploring the Perche region, the cycling route runs through the bucolic Huisne Valley, emblematic of the area. You will be surprised by the wealth of architectural heritage, manors and farmhouses embedded in a landscape of lush green valleys, hills and forests. This first section of the Perche is wild and unspoilt. The villages and hamlets dot the landscape with hedge-framed meadows, apple orchards and grazing cows.
The cultivated areas are often surrounded by hedges. Farms are scattered on hill sides or near rivers. The masonry of their walls are sometimes almost exclusively made of soft limestone, sometimes flint framed with bricks. The coatings have the colour of the local sand.
Due to the abundance of water and wood, forges, glassworks and mills have long been established in these valleys.
You will also find many manor houses arising from nowhere around a hill, which are the former headquarters of local businesses.
