La Ferté-Macé (Orne, France)
La Ferté-Macé is a medium-sized town in the south of the Orne, rooted in the Norman bocage. It owes its name to an old ferté — a fortress that structured the medieval borough. Today, the town features an urban fabric mixing local shops, municipal facilities and green spaces. The surrounding landscape offers gentle hills and valleys suitable for walks.
Heritage and history
The town preserves traces of its defensive and commercial past. One can still perceive the imprint of a medieval stronghold around which the market developed. A few religious buildings and old structures dot the center, witnesses to a local history oriented toward agriculture and trade.
