Argentan is a historic Orne town near the famous Haras du Pin stud farm and the 1944 battlefields of the Falaise pocket. It's horse-and-history country.
Argentan sits in Orne — known for its stud farm and Argentan-point lace. Pick-up near the station makes arriving by train easy. Perfect for pairing the Normandy coast with a day at the Armada de Rouen (17–27 June 2027).
Rather than booking blind, compare all the major rental companies serving Argentan side by side and pick the best price. Booking ahead for June 2027 is wise — cars sell out around the Armada and the summer season.
The Orne's studs, châteaux and battlefields are scattered across open countryside that really calls for a car. See our day trips for more ideas.
Cars across Normandy sell out around the Armada and the summer peak — and automatics go first. Reserve now with free cancellation to secure today's rate and stay flexible.
From a nippy city car for the old town to an estate or SUV for the coast and the D-Day route — here's what each class is best for.

A few details make the difference between a smooth rental and an expensive surprise. The headline price usually includes basic cover with a large excess; a Full Coverage add-on reduces it to zero and is cheaper online than at the desk. Suppliers block a deposit on a credit card in the main driver's name, so bring one. Choose a full-to-full fuel policy, book an automatic early if you need one (they're limited in France), and pick a free-cancellation rate while your plans are flexible.
Yes — France's oldest national stud is about 20 minutes away by car, alongside the châteaux and 1944 battlefield sites of the Falaise pocket.
Common pick-up points are listed above; arriving by train or ferry you can usually collect a car at or near the station or terminal, and town-centre agencies cover the rest.
A Full Coverage add-on reduces your excess to zero and is usually much cheaper booked online in advance than at the rental desk.
