The Paysan abbot, was made priest of Menil Gondouin in 1873. He decorated the inside and outside of the church himself.

The artificial lake at Rabodanges sits in an unspoilt natural setting, lined with forests and rocks. It stretches over five communes and covers almost 240 acres, making it the largest lake in Basse-Normandie. It is 6km in length and around 250 metres wide. It is home to the headquarters of the Motonautique Club de Basse Normandie, where you can water-ski when the warm weather arrives. There are two restaurants on the water's edge. One directly overlooks the lake and the other has inflatables for children. People stroll in the sun along the shores, close to the landing stage, from where cruise-boats take tourists up and down the waters. Kayaks and fishermen join this peaceful scene, the latter casting their lines either from the banks or from rowing boats. Fishing here covers two categories and is regulated, including night-fishing for carp.

The dam’s history begins in 1919. Over a 4km stretch, between entering and exiting the St Aubert gorges, the Orne river bed runs steeply downhill, descending by about 40 metres. Taking advantage of the narrow valley at the entrance to the gorge, and the natural reservoir upstream, engineers were able to design an ambitious dam with substantial water retention. The reservoir stores up to six million cubic metres of water over an area of 95 hectares, held back by a 160 metre-long and 17 metre-high dam. The entire project, located in Plessis, can be viewed from the belvedere accessible via a footpath to the left of the site entrance.
