Magnificent road with a beautiful view over the Sarthon valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

To the north of L'Orée-d'Écouves, this place takes up the name of the town perfectly. Located on the edge of the Écouves forest, on a pretty tree-lined road, it offers superb landscapes over the surrounding countryside.
