Places to visit

West of Normandy and a stone throw away from Brittany, the departement of Manche has kept its traditional landscape of green countryside and hedgerows, rich meadows and apple trees.

You can also enjoy the riches of the sea along the unspoilt coast which offers rocky aspects (cliffs of Champeaux) and fine sandy beaches (Carolles and Jullouville) and which can be explored walking along the ‘sentier des douaniers’ , ‘customs officers lane’ (marked GR223 on your map).

From our house, you can visit:

 

• Mont Saint Michel : Unesco world heritage site since 1979, an abbey which has celebrated its 1300th anniversary, at the heart of a bay swept twice daily by some of the highest tides in Europe.
• Saint-Malo: city of the Corsairs nestling within its walls preserved as they were in Vauban’s time, with its many beaches, its islets of Grand Bé and Petit Bé accessible at low tide; with its aquarium, an outing especially suitable for children, which will enable you to discover the marine world with the circular sharks pool, and also the underwater world in the Nautibus.
   
• Cancale: pretty fishing port, the harbour ‘de la Houle’ (of the sea swell) is the place of choice to eat the delicious local oysters and shellfish with over 50 restaurants to choose from.
• Dinard : jewel of the Emerald Coast set in its white sandy beaches.
   
• Fougères castle: built in the Year 1000, this medieval castle, the largest in Europe, was meant to protect the lands of Brittany from French and Norman incursions.
