Morning
Pick up a “Circuit du Patrimoine” from the tourist office in the old market in Mortagne-au-Perche (pl du Général-de-Gaulle), and walk its route, popping into the Église de Notre-Dame to see the glorious altarpiece. Finish with a coffee in the Hôtel Tribunal (see Tribunal, Mortagne-au-Perche).
Leave Mortagne-au-Perche on the D931 toward Mamers. Turn left on the D275 and follow signs to La Perrière, an enchanting village of colourful cottages and tempting brocantes (antiques shops), with a glorious view. Take the RF225 through the peaceful Forêt de Belleme as far as the D931. Turn right for Bellême . Go through the town and turn right onto the D203 to Nocé, where the Auberge des 3J (1 pl Docteur-Gireaux) is an excellent lunch stop.
Afternoon
Leave Nocé on the D9, stopping for a glimpse of the handsome Manoir de Courboyer before spectacular vistas open up along the route. Turn right onto the D5 to the huge, incongruous Chapelle-Montligeon. After a look, follow the road through the village until it meets the D213. Turn left through the Forêt de Reno-Valdieu to Monceaux and the glorious Manoir de Pongirard gardens (open May–Oct: pm Sat–Sun). Take the D291 to St-Victor-de-Réno for a well-deserved meal at the charming Auberge de Brochard.
