Around the apartment

Damigny, Alençon and Écouves forest

You sleep in quiet in the centre of Damigny, and the things people come to the region for are minutes away.

The centre of Damigny: the church and the flower-lined crossroads

Right here

The centre of Damigny

The apartment is in the heart of Damigny, in a peaceful neighbourhood a short walk from everyday amenities.

On a long stay that matters: you do not need the car for errands, and you hear far less traffic than in the town centre.

The rooftops of old Alençon and the dome of the Halle au blé, from the air

Three minutes away

Alençon, its streets and its basilica

The centre of Alençon is a three-minute drive away, with its historic streets, the Notre-Dame basilica and the birthplace of Saint Thérèse.

You can go in the morning, come back for lunch and head out again in the evening without it feeling like an expedition.

The craft

Point d’Alençon needle lace

Alençon gave its name to a needle lace technique whose craft is listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Visitors come a long way to see it, and once you stand in front of a piece you understand why.

The outdoors

Écouves forest and the Normandie-Maine park

A few minutes’ drive takes you to Écouves forest and the Normandie-Maine Regional Nature Park.

The area has heritage on one side and large forests on the other, with very little road in between.

Sleep three minutes from all this

You have the entire apartment to yourselves, from the entrance to the bathroom.
