Saint Peter's Church

Highlight • Other

The Chapitrel is the name given to the entrance gate. The period door is in the Renaissance style.
This construction had several functions: It was reserved for catechumens who were not allowed to enter the church and served as a warehouse for farmers who sold at the market on Sunday mornings. The saddleback tower dates from 1545. It is 28 m high. It is square and has four levels. Each floor is separated by an external Roussard belt called a "larmier" which overhangs quite widely, preventing water from running off.
At the top of the roof are two granite crosses, each topped with a copper weather vane representing a crowned dragon's head.

Saint-Cénéri-le-Gérei

Highlight • Settlement

In the heart of the Mancelles Alps, the small village of Saint-Cénéri-Le-Gérei has that little extra soul that makes it one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France. In the 19th century, the village attracted a good number of painters, including Corot and Courbet.

Crossing the Sarthe, you come across this "Monument Leclerc", a memorial paying homage to General Leclerc, commander of the 2nd Armored Division, who liberated the town of Alençon on August 12, 1944. On the wall are the main dates and places that marked the course of the 2nd DB. Opposite, there is one of the many terminals of the Koufra oath.
