La Ferté-Bernard, Administrative commune in Sarthe, France

Located in northwestern France, La Ferté-Bernard features a network of waterways through its medieval center with stone buildings along narrow streets.

The town originated from an 11th-century stronghold and resisted English forces for four months during a notable siege in 1424.

The Notre-Dame des Marais church displays Gothic architecture with Renaissance elements, representing the architectural evolution of the region.

Electric boat rentals provide access to explore the local waterways, with designated stations positioned throughout the town center.

La Ferté-Bernard connects to the legend of the Peluda dragon, a medieval creature said to emerge from the Huisne River.
