About Asnières-sur-Vègre
In a green valley of the Sarthe, Asnières-sur-Vègre is a tiny and exquisite medieval village, one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France, gathered beside the little river Vègre and its ancient humpbacked stone bridge. Its cluster of old stone houses, a fortified manor known as the Cour d'Asnières and a lovely Romanesque church famous for its remarkable medieval wall paintings — a vivid, well-preserved cycle including a striking depiction of hell — make it a jewel of rural heritage. Watermills, willows and gardens line the peaceful river, and the whole village breathes an air of timeless tranquillity far from the modern world. Small, harmonious and richly historic, wrapped in the gentle countryside of the Sarthe, Asnières-sur-Vègre is a delightful hidden treasure, a perfect place to savour the quiet beauty of medieval rural France.
