Me outside Sanctuaire Notre Dame de Montligeon

La Chapelle de Montligeon is a small village located in the Perche national Park in Basse Normandie.

The main sight to see in this small village is the beautiful Sanctuaire Notre Dame de Montligeon.

We were staying in this area so access was not a problem, however it is very remote and so if you need to use public transport check out the website (www.sanctuaire-montligeon.com) for links, as far as I am aware the closest train station to here is Nogent le Rotrou, this station has a direct link with Paris Montparnasse and from Nogent you should be able to get a bus to La Chapelle de Montligeon.

There is accommodation on offer here too - in the amazing Ermitage buildings in the grounds of the church.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Typically French
Cons:I imagine it would be packed during summer
In a nutshell:The REAL France!
