l'orne-sur-sart

Updated: May 16, 2025

For many miles, travelling close to the Forest of Bourse, the roads are excellent, though hilly, and the country highly cultivated in all directions. The peasantry were getting in the hay and rye harvest, and large tracts of wheat and barley were nearly ready for cutting. The town of Alençon is the capital of L'Orne-sur-Sart. It stands in the middle of a fertile plain.
