The abbey church is Gothic in style and was built in the 13th century. It has been classified as a historic monument since 1881, and is considered to be one of the most beautiful works of religious architecture in the Bocage Normand.

Overlooking the entire bay of Mont Saint Michel, this part of the road from Saint Jean le Thomas to Carolles is incredible. Many equipped stops allow you to enjoy the view from the cliffs. When I was little, my father told me every time we passed that the place was considered "the most beautiful kilometer in France". Not false. Only downside, no cycling facilities, we share the road with cars.

If like me, you come here from the bay of Mont St Michel, it's a beautiful climb that surprises a little but offers by turning your head or stopping on the side a vast panorama overlooking the coast.

(Open on request at the town hall) Classified as a historical monument in 1881, the abbey church of Saint-Sever is one of the most beautiful jewels of religious architecture in the Bocage Normand. The isolation of the bell tower astonishes the visitor. The Gothic-style abbey church was built in the 13th century. On the route do not miss the gardens of the abbey.

Founded in 1143 in the wooded Thar Valley, the Abbey of La Lucerne is a witness to Anglo-Norman architecture, between Romanesque and Gothic. Since 1959, for the third time in its history, this exceptional ensemble has benefited from remarkable preservation and restoration work to offer one of the most complete examples of medieval Premonstratensian architecture in France. Listed as a Historic Monument in 1928, the abbey strikes with the strength of its history led by passionate men. The emotion is born from the absolute simplicity of the architecture, its great luminosity and the preserved authenticity of its environment. Your entrance fees contribute to the preservation of the abbey by supporting the "Fondation Abbaye de La Lucerne d'Outremer", owner, which is in charge of its restoration, management and maintenance. Visitors can discover a 5-hectare monastic complex, preserved in its green setting on the edge of the forest: the Gatehouse and the courthouse, the church, the refectory, the cellars, the park crossed by an aqueduct, the abbey lodgings with the lake, the guest room and the dovecote.
