Argentan, Administrative center in Orne department, France.
The city stretches along the Orne River, featuring stone buildings, residential neighborhoods, and industrial sectors across its urban layout.
During World War II, the city endured substantial damage from bombardments in June 1944, leading to an extensive reconstruction period in the following years.
The local population maintains traditions through regular markets in the city center, where regional products and Norman specialties are exchanged.
The railway station connects Argentan to Paris and Granville, while numerous bus lines serve the surrounding communities in the Orne department.
