To make a day of it

Manoir dit Le Désert stands in Vieux-Pont (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Vieux-Pont, in the Orne department, the manor known as Le Désert stands in granite, built at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. Two pavilions project from opposite corners of the building, joined by a corbelled corner turret, while farm outbuildings close off a rectangular courtyard. The site is remembered as a gathering place for Chouan rebels during the French Revolution.
