The town is situated along the banks of the Laize River, making it an ideal spot for exploring the area’s rich history and culture. It is about 30 mins drive from Mont Saint Michel.We had a couple of hours to pass before Alligator Bay opened at 2 pm. So decided to check out the town it is only 20 mins away

The town has a good choice of shops and cafes all within easy walking distance. We parked outside the old church in the centre. We visited on a Wednesday in October so it wasn`t over busy there was a few tourist about.The best day to visit is a Tuesday morning when the large street market is on it is one of the largest in the area. The market spreads out in the streets in centre of town.
