ラ・ビグネのおすすめツーリングルート

The estate, nestled between the bocage countryside and the Suisse Normande region, has belonged to the Calvados department since 1896. The château, gamekeeper's and gardener's lodges, dovecote, farmhouse, woods, and lands all bear witness to its noble past. A museum also allows visitors to discover the furniture, as well as family heirlooms and decorative objects that bring the Pontécoulant family history to life.

very nice

a great cycle path through the railway tunnel - the tunnel is beautifully lit.

a beautiful tunnel, well lit!

A rest area at the train station. There's more than just tables and benches here, plus a nice place to linger.

Nowadays, very few mills are still in operation in their original function, but they appear to hikers and cyclists along the river as technical and historical monuments of an ancient craft tradition: solely through human ingenuity and the natural power of flowing water as driving energy, the heavy millstones inside were moved and thus, for example, grain kernels could be ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil could be pressed from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills).

Notre-Dame de Bayeux Cathedral An imposing Gothic cathedral, consecrated in 1077. William the Conqueror is said to have been present here.

Amazing clock tower. According to the info sign the 'twin towers' are from the 12th C and the Belfry was added at the end of the 15th C. So a very historic spot. The small square in front of the tower is peaceful and hassle-free Use one of the many clean public benches as a base to enjoy your picnic. Afterwards go to the small cafe on the corner, order and pay for your coffee and they will bring it out to your table (a slight upgrade from the bench!). I discreetly ate a clafoutis de cerise with the coffee, and no-one objected.
