PERCHE

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 134 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PERCHE , a region of northern France extending over the departments of Orne, Eure, Eure-et-Loir and Sarthe. Its boundaries are Normandy on the N. and W.,
Maine
  on the S.W., Vendomois and Dunois on the S., Beauce on the E. and Thimerais on the N.E. The greater
part
  of the
district
  is occupied by a semicircle of heights (from 65o to r000 ft. in height) stretching from Moulins-la-
Marche
  on the north-west to Montmirail on the
south
 ; within the basin formed thereby the shape of which is defined by the Huisne, an affluent of the Sarthe, lie the
chief
  townsMortagne, Nogent-le-Rotrou and Belleeme. Stock-raising and dairy-farming are flourishing in the Perche, which is famous for the production of a breed of large and powerful horses. Cider-apples and
pears
  are grown throughout the
district
 . In the middle ages the Perche constituted a countship of which Corbon, Mortagne and Nogent-le-Rotrou were successively the capitals. Under the ancien regime it formed, together with
Maine
 , a gouvernement of which Mortagne was the
capital
 .
