Natural Parch ‘du Perche’
This charming natural park is a haven of deep forests, rolling hills, and historic manors, encapsulating the essence of rural French beauty.
As you wander through its picturesque landscapes, you’ll encounter ancient woodlands, traditional Percheron horse farms, and beautifully preserved medieval villages.
