Perche en Nocé

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Orne

New commune located in Normandy, in the Orne department, Perche en Nocé was born in January 2016 from the merger of the villages of Dancé, Colonard-Corubert, Nocé, Préaux-du-Perche, Saint-Aubin-des-Grois, and Saint -Jean-de-la-Forêt. It is located in the Regional Natural Park of Perche, between Bellême and Nogent-le-Rotrou.

Populated since the Gallo-Roman era, the territory of Perche en Nocé has developed quietly since the Middle Ages, especially under the influence of various abbeys nearby. Formed of mainly agricultural communes, it is also known for its production and breeding of Percheron breeds, appreciated by horse lovers.

The new town has an architectural, cultural and natural heritage of great importance, which can be discovered by spending a few days in this green and welcoming region. The proximity to some of the most beautiful sights of the Perche also makes it an ideal place for holidays in the great outdoors.
