Mortain also has a disused monastery which you can visit, this was one of the last working ones in France. Other places of interest include Mont St Michel approximately 1 and 1/4 hours drive away. Normandy is famous for its beeches and war Museums. Pay a visit to Bagnoles-de-l-orne, a delightful and only thermal spa in the whole of Northwest France. There is so much to do and see in the area such as the Bayeux tapestry, Domfront, Saint- Malo, Dinan, the Camembert factory, with the Abbey. Your trip would not be complete without a visit to the weekly traditional French market at saint-Hilaire, purchasing foods, clothing, and home goods. Not to mention the Vide-Graniers/Brocantes markets to pick up a bargain. Alternatively, stay in and totally relax, read a book by the romantic wood burner or sunbath in a very private garden.

The kitchen has good equipment, the bed is big enough even for bigger persons, the garden is very nice during the day as well as in the late afternoon... We will recommend it to our German friends. ##### Patrick J. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annika F. Jul 27, 2018 #### Lovely clean gite in a quiet location The gite is located down a quiet lane so only had the cows for company which was nice. The gite was very clean on arrival and had all the basic items needed. The location is good for exploring the surrounding area of Normandy, Domfront had a bit more restaurants and we also went to Jullouville on the coast which was a good beach town. Mortain and the cascades are definitely worth look. Overall a lovely stay. ##### Annika F. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Levi B.
