Le Château de Frahan

This picturesque walk will reveal the hidden treasures of the village of Lesve.

The church (1760-1763) has a Calvary, a polychrome wooden statue from the 16th century. You can see a reproduction of this work in the small chapel located in the cemetery below the church. In this oldest part of the village, there is a concentration of remarkable architectural evidence. At the bottom of the rue Jules Demeuse, the so-called "Château" is a magnificent 18th century manor house with park, gardens and orangery. Just below, the imposing 17th century El Vau farmhouse has been beautifully restored for residential use. Opposite, an imposing building that once housed a sawmill has undergone the same fate. A little further on, the impressive castle known as "La Bouverie", once the seat of the Lords of Lesve, has been transformed into a farm. Its crenellated tower bears witness to the original defensive purpose of the structure. After this journey through time, we will walk through a rural landscape in the middle of the fields before going up the "Fonds de Vaux", a real dry valley that reminds us that we are in a territory shaped by water. This is the land of underground rivers, chantoirs and nutons....
