Avranches star : The Michelin guide review

Picturesque streets, a viewpoint over the bay from its planted garden, and a chance to admire the exceptional manuscripts of Mont-St-Michel in the Scriptorial are among the reasons to visit Avranches. The town’s history is inextricably linked with that of Mont-St-Michel, which was reputedly founded by St Aubert, an 8C bishop of Avranches.
