This 11th century medieval bridge is a beautiful place to contemplate Beaumont-sur-Sarthe for a short moment. In addition to the river, you can see the castle located on the heights of the town.

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.

This old Romanesque bridge built in medieval times, between the 11th and 12th centuries, spans the Sarthe. Since 1988, it has been on the list of historic monuments. Stopping there for a moment, you have a nice view of the village of Beaumont-sur-Sarthe.

Charming city of character. I highly recommend. On the other hand, the positive altitude difference is unavoidable since the village is in a hollow with significant cliffs around it.
