SAINTE-SUZANNE, PETITE CITÉ DE CARACTÈRE ET PLUS BEAUX VILLAGES DE FRANCE
The medieval village of Sainte-Suzanne is not only a small town full of character, but also one of France's Most Beautiful Villages. It's an astonishing place, as much for its natural surroundings as for the charm of its narrow streets and its history!
You'll need at least a day to make the most of Sainte-Suzanne.Take a stroll through the narrow streets, discover the castle and its CIAP (Centre d'Interprétation de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine), the Musée de l'Auditoire (exhibition "Sainte-Suzanne 3000 ans d'Histoire", where you'll see the oldest suit of armour in France), go down to the paper mill, known as the Grand-Moulin (the only mill in France with a mechanism that can produce wheat, paper and electricity with the same wheel) and enjoy a guided tour that will explain the importance of this activity in Sainte-Suzanne in the past...
Hiking enthusiasts can also take advantage of the many itineraries starting from the town.
In the village, restaurants, small craftsmen and shopkeepers provide an opportunity to take a break in the heart of the village. The Poterne walk around the ramparts, the mill walk along the river Erve on the edge of the Charnie forest, and the exceptional panoramic site of Tertre-Ganne.
