In the heart of Mont Saint-Michel Bay, Hotel des Bains is just a 20-minute drive from Avranches.
Do not miss the treasures of Avranches
The city of Avranches offers splendid views over the Mont Saint-Michel. We recommend the panorama offered by the garden of plants on the Mount, with a walk among the 12 thematic gardens og the hill.
The authentic small streets are part of the charm of the city. Take the time to discover its streets full of charm, the wooded lanes and gardens nestled in the hollow of the ramparts. First stop in the rue de Lille and its old houses, then the rue Engibault and its paved alley with medieval charm, with a detour in the rue Maurice Chevrel exposing a half-timbered house and corbelled sixteenth century. At the 18 rue Challemel Lacour, gargoyles carved in stone have reached a respectable age since 1651.
The remarkable religious heritage of Avranches also deserves several stops depending on your stay.
The Basilica of Saint Gervais and its treasures first of all, with for master piece among the reliquaries of the parish museum. The church Saint-Saturnin then, which would be the oldest building of Avranches. And we will not fail to mention the Manuscripts of the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel which Avranches ais depository since the Revolution.
Avranches is definitely a remarkable city, a must to see in the Manche. So plan a stop of several days at the Hotel des Bains in St-Jean-de-Thomas, to be sure not to miss all the assets of Normandy.
