The Sainte-Anne de Champfrémont chapel is located 1 km north of the village in the bucolic setting of the Sainte-Anne site, which also includes a leisure area with picnic tables and a covered area, a fountain, a stopover gîte, a converted former cattle fair, a conservatory orchard and a beautiful fishing pond. Groups can book one of the site's two large shelters, the Campot - which sleeps 90 - or the Multonne - which sleeps 130.
The charming little chapel dates from the mid-17th century. Its construction was undertaken by Abbot Étienne Jouy in 1630, when it belonged to the powerful Benedictine abbey of Lonlay (in the Orne department near Domfront), founded in 1020 by Guillaume I Talvas de Bellême.
The origins of Sainte-Anne chapel are also linked to a legend, that of the "Source of the Ram". This spring, more commonly known today as the "Sainte-Anne fountain", is located a few hundred metres behind the chapel and can be reached quickly via a pleasant little sunken path. The fountain is made of Orgères granite. The 10-metre-high calvary, made from a single piece of granite, was donated by Mr Hémery, a woodcutter from Champfrémont, around 1885 (at the request of the parish priest of Champfrémont).
