This chapel was built in 1402 and was a stopover for pilgrims en route to Mont-Saint-Michel. Until around 1840, the site housed a shelter, a bread oven and a cellar to facilitate the stopover of pilgrims. Today, one can enjoy the site for its tranquility and its breathtaking view. The perfect place to take a break from your run.

This mansion dates from the 15th century. Destroyed, like many buildings, during the Hundred Years' War, it was rebuilt in 1540. Privately owned today, it remains a feast for the eyes during your hike.
