The village of Cerisy la Salle (5 minutes by car,) has a 17th century château, bank, chemist, post office, shops and tourist office. Coutances, a fine Normandy hill town with cathedral, sights and supermarkets, is 15 minutes away. The best seaside, at Agon Coutainville, is a 25 minute drive – a bourgeois resort, with 3 miles of sandy beach and promenade, cafes and restaurants, but not crowded. Some of France’s favourite sights – Bayeux (tapestry and cathedral), Mont St Michel (monastery in the sea) and St Malo (walled city) – are about 1 hour distant. The Normandy landing beaches start from Bayeux. Day trips to Jersey are via Granville, a bustling port-and-resort town with night life, shopping and grand clifftop house where Christian Dior grew up. Granville also has an 18-hole golf course, open to holidaymakers (please, contact owner for links with more info). Summer-long culture includes the international music festival at Lessay Abbey, village fêtes and fireworks, and guided walks.
