Alençon (pop. 30,380), situated in southern Normandy at the entrance to the Normandie-Maine Regional Nature Park, has been noted since the 17th C for its lace (points d'Alençon), and it still has a lace-making school with exhibition and sale rooms. Other features of interest are the Town Hall (1783) and the Maison d'Ozé (15th C), now occupied by the tourist information office.
