"Hambye Abbey is the best-preserved medieval monastery in Normandy after Mont-Saint-Michel." (Google). The Benedictine monastery was founded in 1145. It is a truly mystical place to visit. https://de.normandie-tourisme.fr/gehenswuerdigkeiten/abbaye-de-hambye/ Prices and opening times: https://abbaye-hambye.manche.fr/infos-pratiques/preparer-ma-visite/

the hiking trail is quite nice by bike. Great view over the small town and on the left side the trotting track. Old walls are described at the top of the viewpoint. Additional information can be obtained in German, French and English using the QR code.
