Louvigne du Desert

Sign on the church at Louvigne du Desert

We found Louvigne du Desert by chance we had been visiting Saint Hilaire du Harcouet in Normandy. Which is about 7 miles away and were on our way to see the castle at Fougeres in Brittany. This is the nice part of driving in France you find so many interesting places. We always allow extra time on our trips you always find a town or village that you have to stop and walk round. This was one of those places.
