Very sparsely populated, this town nevertheless has several attractions, starting with its pretty belvedere from the church. Further north is also the charming little chapel of Nouettes.

But the emblematic place of the village is most certainly the park-museum of granite. In the first half of the 20th century, a hundred quarries were exploited on the municipal territory. No wonder Saint-Michel-de-Montjoie was chosen to host this museum which traces the history of the region's granite, Bleu de Vire.

Hiking

St-Michel de Montjoie is historically known as a place of passage for pilgrims. The orientation table allows you to enjoy a superb panorama over the entire Mortainais valley and, on a clear day, to catch a glimpse of the contours of Mont Saint Michel. Then the joy of the pilgrim was immense, and thus came the term monsjoy!
