Normandie

Built to accommodate a cavalry regiment, the Hotel du Département was called "Quartier Valazé" in 1890\. This barracks will have up to 1,500 men and 1,000 horses, spread over five hectares. The horses will be succeeded by tanks. In 1951, the barracks is called «Maréchal Lyautey». The army will definitively leave the three main buildings in 1969\. The General Council of the Orne bought the Quartier Lyautey from the Ministry of Defence in 1990\. A campaign to rehabilitate the site was then launched. The gardens are not forgotten: in 2016, the large lawns located at the back of the central building give way to a garden of great plant diversity.
