d'Ouilly |
| Situated
20 km from Falaise, Pont d'Ouilly, a little town full
of flowers and greenery at the confluence of the rivers
Orne and Noireau, has a lovely feeling of
peace and serenity… but don’t be fooled, in fact it’s
the capital of leisure activities :
canoeing,
mountain-biking, archery, horse-riding, hiking and
even paragliding !
On
Sundays,
you can indulge in quieter pleasures, strolling through
the market in the morning and dancing in the afternoon
at the waterside open-air café in the summer. Don’t forget
to take a gastronomic break in the renowned restaurants
of
Pont d’Ouilly, where they prepare delicious food all the
year round, with the accent on regional Normandy specialities. |
