Longny les Villages (Orne, France)

Longny les Villages is a new commune created in 2016 that brings together several villages of the Perche. It occupies a territory typical of the Perche bocage, where fields, hedgerows and small woods shape the landscape. The central village, around Longny-au-Perche, offers a calm rural atmosphere, halfway between small manor houses and half-timbered houses. It is a practical base for exploring the Perche and its hiking trails.

Heritage and history

The area preserves traces of a rural history attached to manor houses, barns and former Percheron farms. There are traditional buildings in stone and half-timbering and small village chapels. The organization into delegated communes reflects the former mosaic of parishes and hamlets characteristic of the Perche.

Nature and landscapes

The landscape is dominated by the bocage, meadows and small woodlands that promote great landscape diversity. Secondary roads and paths offer views over gentle valleys, old hedgerows and orchards. It is a popular spot for observing rural wildlife and peaceful walks.

Outdoor activities

The area offers numerous waymarked walking and cycling routes connecting villages and viewpoints. Horse riding and mountain biking are common, and themed walks allow discovery of rural heritage. Local tourist offices provide information on routes and hikes suitable for families.

Cuisine and local products

Local cuisine highlights products from the Perche and Normandy: apples, cider, regional dairy products and artisanal charcuterie. Several farms and producers offer direct sales or farm shop points.
