THE SPA RESORT:
Located on the edge of the forest, a hundred kilometres from Mont Saint-Michel, the landing beaches, the bell foundry of Villedieu-les-Poêles…
Cradle of legends: the one of Saint-Ortaire (chapel) who won the dragon on the Roc au chien that overlooks the thermal baths, that of the waters of the thermal spring invigorating the old horse of the Lord of Tessé, then his master and that of King Arthur in the footsteps of Lancelot du Lac…
The Belle Epoque has left large bourgeois villas, neo-regionalist style of the coast, but Art Deco is not outdone with the casino and the church Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
And the fossils of the Flat Stones from 500 million years ago.
