Fish pass allowing salmon and other shad to pass through a lock on the Vire, a river formerly designed for navigation. Pleasant site, on the edge of the greenway. Explanatory panels, picnic tables and small shelter in case of rain.

This Véloroute which runs along the Vire river for kilometers between Saint-Fromond and Pont-Fantaisie via Saint-Lo is a serene way to enjoy the Normandy countryside with minimal traffic. It is part of the Tour de Manche route and the Vélomaritime route, both of which run along the coast of northern France. It is also very well marked, so there is little chance of getting lost!
