Savigny-le-Vieux is situated where Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley meet at the southern end of the Manche area. The rolling hills and chestnut trees provide a peaceful and picturesque location. La Manche is a corner of Normandy stretching from Cherbourg to Mont St Michel. There are many colourful markets and those at St Hilaire, Brecy and Avranches are lively and well supported by locals and visitors alike. On the west coast are found the sandy beaches of St Jean de Thomas, Carolles and Jullouville. The town of Granville boasts a busy port and harbour with daily trips to Jersey. Mont st Michel is a short drive away as are the oyster beds of Cancale and the walled town of St Malo. A full day excursion will take you to the D-Day Beaches and the town of Bayeux, famous for its tapestry and cathedral. The Medieval town of Fougeres, with its 13 towers and massive walled castle is within 20 kilometres. Local gastronomic delights include Calvados, Camembert and Normandy Ciders.
