La Chapelle Saint-Joseph

In the heart of the Suisse Normande region, the Thury Plein Air outdoor centre welcomes you for supervised activities and hire, for individuals and groups. Discover the magnificent landscapes between Clécy, Thury-Harcourt and the Val de Maizet by hiring canoes, kayaks, bicycles, pedalos and single and giant stand-up paddles. In a kayak (single-seater) or canoe (double-seater, with the option of adding a third person), come and cruise the Orne with family and friends to discover the hidden corners of Normandy. You can hire canoes on site and choose from four routes ranging from 7 to 15km, with trips lasting from 1 to 5 hours. Explore the Suisse Normande region by bike (mountain bike, VTC and electric bike) on the voie verte (towards Caen or Clécy) and on the mountain bike trails accessible from the entrance to the base. Groups can also discover other activities such as archery, orienteering and climbing. A total immersion in nature, less than 30 km from Caen!

Of Romanesque origin, almost entirely rebuilt during the 19th century, the chapel is located on a headland offering remarkable panoramic views.

St. Joseph's Chapel was built in 1871. Destroyed by fire in 1919, it has since been totally rebuilt. The bell can be seen inside the top of the bell gable which is surmounted with a cross. The same style of construction can be seen in the 'Bonne Nouvelle' (Our Lady of Good Nnews) Chapel in Esson, on the opposite bank of the River Orne, forming a match with St. Joseph's.
