To make a day of it
Logis de la Petitière stands in Le Grais (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Standing near a pond southwest of the village of Le Grais, this manor keeps the look of a medieval fortified house, complete with a tower and arrow slits recalling the sieges it endured during the Hundred Years' War. The east facade, from the 15th century, features a stair turret and carved animal figures above the doorway, likely evidence of its former use as a hunting lodge. The west facade was rebuilt later, in the 18th century, and nearby stand a bakehouse, a stable and a chapel from that same period.
