Our guest house is in La Lande d'Airou, near the lively all-year copper and bell foundry town of Villedieu-les-Poeles with good shops, pubs and restaurants. The little town of Villedieu (4400 inhabitants) has been known for centuries for its copper and tin kitchenware. You must see the 'L'Atelier du cuivre', an ancient copper workshop, the 'Musée de la Poeslerie', a museum of copper pot and pan production, the 'Fonderie des Cloches', a bell foundry that is still in operation and can be seen working. Just a few km away in the direction of Granville is Champrepus Zoo. It takes approx. 30 minutes by car to reach the long, sandy beaches of St. Martin-de-Brehal and Jullouville.
