The title of the "Norman Switzerland", was given in 1932 by Mr Gourdeau, Minister of Tourism In the feudal era, castles and mostly manors were built in its area. About ten still exist and a few of them are in good condition. More recently, the Orne and its banks have changed, and this has had strong repercussions nowadays. In the eighteenth century, our ancestors did not really care about tourism, but the fords, mills and fisheries built at that time are an heritage which a lot of country can envy. Who could imagine its surroundings in the Moulin du Vey (Mill of the Vey) and its barrage, without its little bridges made with local stone, and its famous bridge crossing the Orne, fitting so well into the countryside. Nowadays, tourism develops itself in a peaceful environment, with the Orne's winding meanders, swelled with many streams.
