Flers

Located in the Orne department at an elevation of 189 meters, Flers extends over 21 square kilometers with a population of 14,482 residents.

The settlement traces back to the 12th century when the de Flers family established a wooden fortress, later transformed into a stone castle surrounded by water.

The municipal museum, housed within the Renaissance castle, presents exhibitions about local history, fine arts, and the industrial heritage of the region.

The train station connects to Paris and Granville through regular TER Normandie services, while local buses provide transportation within the commune.

During World War II, Allied bombings in June 1944 destroyed 80 percent of the town, leading to an extensive reconstruction program after the conflict.
