With my dog and my children we are used to taking walks in parks like the one in park of the castle of Flers, we walk on nature trails as in the Mont de Cerisy a mountain culminating at 296 meters above sea level and admire the remains of the 1895 castle. To be amazed, take a short trip to La Roche d'Oetre and yes it is here that the oldest reliefs in Europe were born several hundred million years ago, come and admire the rock in the shape of a human profile!
