La Perrière, Delegated commune in Orne department, Normandy region, France.

La Perrière covers 16.16 square kilometers at elevations between 122 and 226 meters, featuring traditional stone houses and rural landscapes typical of the Perche region with agricultural fields and small forests.

Former canton capital until 1801, La Perrière preserves medieval heritage including the 15th-century Château de Morthimer and archaeological remains from a fortress destroyed in 1449 during the Hundred Years' War.

The commune holds the Small Cities of Character label and maintains its architectural heritage through Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire church and several classified historical monuments reflecting Norman rural traditions and craftsmanship.

The delegated town hall located at Grande Place offers administrative services on Thursday mornings from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM for the 259 residents of this commune integrated into Belforêt-en-Perche.

The ancient quarries of La Perrière supplied white stone used in regional construction projects for centuries, giving the commune its name and creating a distinctive landscape within the Perche natural regional park.
