The department of Orne, in Lower Normandy is bordered by the other two departments in the region, Manche and Calvados. It is located in the south of the region bordering with Mayenne, Sarthe, Eure et Loir and Eure. It is the only Normandy department without a coastline.

Orne’s history was built through war, destruction and chaos but also through prosperity so don’t worry it is a calm and peaceful place to live and visit now! It has rolling countryside, open meadows and boasts some of the best weekly markets in France.

Nowadays you can still see vestiges from all the troubled periods, as well as modern architecture that followed WWII. Nice property in the area is easy to find and reasonably priced.
