Beautiful route but there are no water points for the cans! Otherwise it's magnificent

A bridge with a long history! Even the Romans passed along here! And at the end of World War II, American troops passed through here to liberate France. Today, people make pilgrimages past the bridge on their way to Mont St. Michel.

The “Pont de Pontaubault” is a beautiful work of art, the construction of which dates back to the 15th century. It is the first bridge to cross the Sélune, between Saint-Quentin-sur-le-Homme (right bank) and Pontaubault (left bank). It is located on the old road from Avranches to Rennes, via Saint-James. Since the arrival of the A84 motorway it has mainly been used locally. The bridge has eleven arches and is built with stone masonry. There is a picnic area at the bridge, near the railway viaduct of the Caen-Rennes line, not far from the salt meadows where sheep graze. During big tides many spectators and kayakers come to enjoy the spectacle provided by the tide. The bridge has a rich history. It was bombed several times during World War II but withstood these attacks, allowing 100,000 men and 1,500 vehicles to cross. A memorial plaque recalls that "the fate of the war lay on this bridge".

Friendly cafe at the entrance of the city next to the bridge

The Voie verte "Véloscénie" connects the heart of Paris (the Ile de la Cité) with Mont-Saint-Michel. Over about 450 km it takes you partly on small roads, former railway lines and along small rivers through places such as: Rambouillet, Chartes, Bagnoles de l'orne, Alencon and Domfront to the most famous landmark in Normandy!

Here the Avranches Pontorson railway crosses the Sélune.

Here you can see the impressive remains of the Ducey-Avranches railway line.

The Pontaubault bridge is a magnificent work of art, the construction of which dates back to the 15th century. The eleven arches span the Sélune at the level of the town of Pontaubault. This bridge was bombed several times during World War II, but it resisted, allowing 100,000 men and 1,500 vehicles to cross. A commemorative plaque recalls, perhaps in a slightly exaggerated way, that "the fate of war lay on this bridge".
