Rejoin the cycle route, riding along undulating little forested roads before branching off onto a greenway going from Condé-sur-Huisne to Alençon. Enjoy the peace along this long country stretch running very close to the Huisne River. Allow yourself a short detour to the magnificent hamlet of Villeray.

Admiring old manors and mills, you meander along a greenway through the heart of the Perche area on this stage, enjoying the most peaceful of atmospheres.

Continuing to ride along the greenway from Condé-sur-Huisne to Alençon, you leave behind the Perche, but enter the Parc Naturel Régional Normandie-Maine. The Lac du Mêle-sur-Sarthe offers a very refreshing halt, much appreciated by children.

This stage offers a lovely path through the Bourse Forest, beside the Vésone River. As you cycle on through fields, the town of Alençon appears. Take time exploring this historic centre with its rich and varied architectural heritage and its traditional craft skills, notably needle-point lace-making.
