Avranches
Avranches Normandy is built on a hill over looking the bay and Mont Saint Michel. We had drove past the town earlier in the week on our way to Alligator Bay and marked it down for a visit. We picked the only dull day during our 14 days in Normandy.
The Castle at Avranches
It is quite a steep road to the centre of the town.There is a large car park on your left plus toilets and a tourist office. The car park was full so we headed for the castle and parked there it is only a short walk to the centre. The first castle was built here in the year 950 the present castle walls offer a great view of the town and the bay.
During the Second World War the town was a key defensive position for the German army. General Patton 4th armoured division captured the town which lead to the fall of the rest of Normandy. The town centre is compact and easy to walk round. There is a nice selection of shops and restaurants. A local Map of the town. If you like your history try the museum Scriptorial d'Avranches it is about half a mile from the centre at Place d Estouteville.

Places to stay
Holiday Rental apartment Paris
This large 2-bedroom apartment is a delight to come home to after a long days sightseeing and window shopping. Located on the first floor (2nd floor for North Americans), with a lift, the apartment overlooks rue Custine, one of the most interesting street in Paris to walk through.
Though facing the street, the double-glazed windows give you excellent insulation against any daily passerby.
The apartment has been tastefully decorated in vibrant colors, which catch the natural light streaming into the apartment. As the view is not obstructed closely by another building in front, you benefit from the sunlight and can enjoy your morning breakfast a the wooden dinning table which extends to seat 6.
In the living room you will find a sofa bed that sleeps two. We also have installed a flat screen TV with cable (as well as a dvd player and some dvd's) and have high speed internet access for your laptop computers so you can remain in touch. We also provide you with a Mac Computer in the apartment, a free Phone during your stay and a Bose bluetooth station.
