A little bit about Domfront

Having a privileged natural site, Domfront town offers an exceptional panorama on a wide landscape bocage horizon. The town origin goes back from the 11th century. It is around 1010 that the first fortification was erected, on a sandstone promontory which overlooks the gorges of the Varenne. Surrounded with deep moats, this formidable fortress was surrounded by an enclosure wall. With an undeniable strategic position, Domfront castle was, for several centuries, one of the strongest keeps in France.
