Le Chefresne, the Protestant village : This new commune of Percy-en-Normandie would take its name from the ash tree, which is called "the devil's tree that attracts lightning". It is said that a Protestant pastor, Eugène Sabattier, was struck by lightning while standing under an ash tree next to the temple, which was still under construction at the time. This Protestant past is now reflected in the Protestant temples. Between green countryside and colourful hydrangeas, this circuit takes you on an 8km walk.
