The Roman road from Avranches (Alauna) to Rennes (Condate), probably the origin of the name of the commune, crossed Vieux-Viel from north to south. The existence of the parish of Vieux-Viel is certified in the 12th century, but writings suggest an establishment from the 11th century. Its patron saint was then Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours. According to tradition, from the origin of the parish, the church of Vieux-Viel belonged to the monks of the abbey of Rillé (Fougères), who owned a fief in Vieux-Viel in 1541. Remains of construction near the presbytery in a field called the "Clos au moine" would attest to their presence. Vieux-Viel, which has always belonged to the diocese of Rennes, was then part of the archdeaconry of Rennes and the deanery of Fougères. Before 1789 Vieux-Viel, divided into a number of fiefs, was under the jurisdiction of eight seigneurial jurisdictions, four of which operated in the locality: that of Chatelier, Tréhet, la Motte and Launay-Pinier. Vieux-Viel became a commune in 1789. The 1790 census recorded 768 inhabitants. During the Revolution, the commune belonged to the district of Dol-de-Bretagne and the canton of Trans, whose administrators wanted to abolish the parish by attaching it to Sougéal, but this project did not come to fruition.

The tidal dam over the Couesnon not only offers an interesting technical aspect, but also a wonderful setting for hiking and cycling in the region around Mont Saint-Michel. The dam controls the inflow of sea water and thus creates a unique landscape that changes between the tides. The comfortable bridge takes you to the vast polder areas, where nature shows its gentle and calm side. The path along the river leads directly to the impressive Mont Saint-Michel, always with a view of the historical landmark.

Comfortable bridge that opens up a beautiful hiking area near Mont Saint Michele.

This is a tidal dam that prevents sea water from flowing into the river. There is also a bridge into the polder areas.
