The upper Sée valley

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The river flows below the road. You hear it more than you see, as the valley is wooded. This little ten kilometers offers beautiful views of these wooded and steep landscapes. You can stop at the Moulin de la Sée, an old paper mill to visit the museum or to eat (restaurant, picnic tables).

Saint-Michel-de-Montjoie

Highlight • Settlement

Very sparsely populated, this town nevertheless has several attractions, starting with its pretty belvedere from the church. Further north is also the charming little chapel of Nouettes.

But the emblematic place of the village is most certainly the park-museum of granite. In the first half of the 20th century, a hundred quarries were exploited on the municipal territory. No wonder Saint-Michel-de-Montjoie was chosen to host this museum which traces the history of the region's granite, Bleu de Vire.
