Domfront Castle Plateau

Highlight • Other

On the castle plateau you can enjoy a wide view in almost all directions. Early in the morning there are no tourists yet, but it already smells like fine croissants. Ideal possibility for a first or second breakfast.

Domfront Castle

Highlight • Castle

Besieged by William the Conqueror in 1092, this castle has changed hands many times. The English, in 1417, occupied it during the winter months. It remained in English hands until the French recaptured it in 1450. The castle's fate was sealed when it served as a refuge for the Earl of Montgomery in 1574. He was beheaded the same year and the demolition of the castle was ordained in 1608. Witnesses to the construction of the castle, the ruins have stood the test of time and are still there today for you to enjoy.

Véloscénie Greenway towards Mont Saint-Michel

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A pleasant passage in the shade of the trees which line the towpath.

The signs "Mont Saint-Michel" start to flourish here at the edge of the path, in order to motivate the cyclists who travel the Véloscénie in the direction of the west!

Domfront — Medieval Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The village of Domfront, which today hosts 3500 inhabitants, was a medieval city rich in history.

Half-timbered houses, superb mansions and the fortified wall surround the 12th century keep.

Even today, the city organizes every other year the "Medieval", various activities which remind tourists of the history of the region.
