Basilica of Our Lady of Alençon

Highlight • Religious Site

The Notre-Dame d'Alençon basilica impresses with its imposing finely decorated porch. The facades of the basilica are very pretty, but do not hesitate to visit the interior to discover the richness of the decorations. Indeed, the Gothic nave, built before the Hundred Years War, is surprising and the windows sumptuous.

Château des Ducs d'Alençon

Highlight • Castle

Alençon is the capital of the Orne department and lies on the southern edge of Normandy. It was once very famous for its lace and was therefore known throughout Europe. There is evidence of the existence of the city of Alençon as early as Roman times. In the 11th century, when the Normans secured their duchy to the south, the first fortified settlement was built here. This was later followed by the construction of a mighty castle. The city really achieved economic prosperity around 1650 when Madame La Perrère invented an original lace. It was in no way inferior to the Venetian lace known at the time, but it was considerably cheaper to buy. With the support of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, a royal factory was founded. As a result, more than 8,000 people worked in lace production. The "Point d'Alençon" lace was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.
