L'Aigle, Administrative center in Orne, France
L'Aigle stretches across 118 square kilometers in northwestern France, positioned at an elevation of 210 meters in the Normandy region.
The settlement originated in 1010 when builders discovered an eagle's nest during the construction of the local castle, leading to its current name.
The Museum of June 44 contains extensive documentation about the Battle of Normandy, while the Louis Verrière Museum displays regional wood carvings.
L'Aigle station connects travelers to major destinations including Paris, Argentan, and Granville through regular rail services.
On April 26, 1803, L'Aigle experienced a meteorite shower that scattered numerous fragments across the area, now documented in a dedicated museum.
