The two just above below are ones I took at the Manoir de Courboyer, near the big town of Nogent-le-Rotrou. It's probably the most famous of all the manoirs du Perche.

Les manoirs du Perche
I read somewhere that at one time there were 700 manoirs (manor houses, small châteaux) in the Perche region of France. Many were built starting at the end of the 100 Years' War (late 1400s) and continuing into the 1600s or later. Today, just 100 remain standing. Charles-Henry and I saw a few of them. We were on our way to Alençon to see an old friend of his whose name is also Charles-Henry and who owns a château that now is run as a hotel.
