The biggest and best street market however is at St Hilaire de Harcourt - approx 40 mins drive where you can buy anything from ducks to duvets. Fougere, the largest walled city in Europe is 20km away where there is a fine museum, cathedral and beautiful walks. Mont St Michel and Avranch beach are approx 30km away.
