Rémalard en Perche

In Bellou-sur-Huisne, in terms of built heritage, the visitor can notice a sundial on the church, decorated with the motto "This hour is yours" (in Latin).

It is an underground quarry of white stone that was exploited from the seventeenth to the beginning of the twentieth century, before being transformed into a guinguette then mushroom house and which is now a refuge for protected bats.
