What to See and Do
Owners Recommendations
'Other Attractions'
"The St Sever Forest is absolutely fabulous with lakes and picnic areas, a cafe/restaurant and beautiful walks.
The Bayeux Tapestry is quite breath-taking, and Bayeux itself is a lovely town with great shopping and wonderful eating!
You can also go horse riding from stables less than 10 minutes away. There is a magnificent indoor swimming pool in Villedieu for those days when the weather is not so good. Again, please contact us if you have any specific enquiries"
'Places to See'
"Le Mont St Michel is only a half hour drive (depending on traffic) and certainly worth seeing. We would advise though that you get there early - it gets really busy even in the winter. As a follow-up to a visit there, the Scriptorial in Avranches houses some of the magnificent illuminated manuscripts from the Mont St Michel with short films of how they were restored. The Normandy Landing Beaches and museums are fascinating and are approximately 1 hour away. There is a zoo close by, and a swimming pool in Brecey only 10 minutes away; you can go go-karting about 20 minutes away, and the beaches near Carolles are really beautiful. The Abbaye Blanche in Mortain is gorgeous; Fougeres has an amazing castle; Pirou has a fantastic fortified manor house. All these and more make for tremendous days out, and to help you decide there are lots of leaflets and an information pack at the property with recommendations and suggestions. But please do not hesitate to ring us if you would like to know more"
'Shopping'
"Brecey 2km, market day on Friday. Villedieu 13km, market day on Tuesday. Villedieu is famous for copper cookware and has masses of lovely shops to tempt you. Avranches 18km market day on Saturday and also has lots of lovely shopping including an enormous Carrefour supermarket"
'Villedieu-les-Poeles'
"There are a number of good restaurants in Villedieu amongst which are the St Pierre Hotel, Le Frutier Hotel and Pomme d'Or, all of which are really good. Two stand out: L'Agora which is just opposite the library, small but fabulous, and Manoir de l'Acherie which is absolutely fantastic for a special occasion (although the prices are not necessarily special occasion price)! Their tel no is(00 33) 2 33 51 13 87 and they will organise a taxi for you to get back to La Sagerie - there are also very good restaurants in Avranches - particularly La Belle Epoque"
