The church of Saint-Vigor

The Vauban hut
The Vauban hut, an 18th century guard house, is located at the top of the Carolles cliffs and offers an exceptional view of the bay of
Mont Saint Michel, from
Granville to the tip of Cancale. This modest shale and granite construction was once used as a shelter for customs officers patrolling along the coast along the coastal path still known as the "customs officers' path".

It is one of the most picturesque beaches in the Granville area and the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. Supervised in summer, this fine sandy beach offers a peaceful setting for you and your family to recharge your batteries. It is also a real paradise for lovers of fishing on foot!
The Lude Valley
This protected site, located between two cliffs, has a very varied fauna and a flora characteristic of the seaside with low shrubs, succulent plants, etc. Legend has it that Saint Michael fighting the dragon struck a sword at this place and created the valley.
