Rives d'Andaine

Rives d'Andaine covers approximately 137.14 square kilometers in the Orne department, housing around 2,867 residents across rolling countryside dotted with traditional Norman villages and agricultural lands.

This commune was established on January 1, 2016, through the administrative merger of four former municipalities: La Chapelle-d'Andaine, Couterne, Geneslay, and Haleine, combining their centuries-old local heritage.

The territory features two classified historical monuments: the early 20th-century Couterne flour mill now used for storage and the 16th-century Château de Couterne recognized for architectural significance.

The town hall located at 94 rue de Domfront provides comprehensive administrative services to residents, while three general practitioners ensure local healthcare coverage throughout the commune.

Château de Couterne holds the extraordinary distinction of remaining within the same family ownership since its 16th-century construction, representing over four centuries of continuous family heritage.
