Mountain bike trail without major difficulty

quite easy

Beautiful church in the middle of a pretty little town. Great for a break.

A real artisan baker with a wonderful range of products that are worth a detour. Crispy baguette, finely wrapped croissants and simply fantastic dark baked bread with a crispy crust, nuts and raisins. Hardly to find in Germany, the land of bread, in the era of pre-baked bakeries; as a Wuppertal resident, you occasionally make a pilgrimage to Karlsplatz in Düsseldorf. Highly recommended.

A magnificent, symmetrically laid out town hall. When we visited, it was decorated with flags to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation. Touchingly, it was also decorated with the West German flag on this occasion. Living neighborliness in 21st century Europe.

Heavy early Romanesque church in the village center. The colorful windows are more recent. Particularly worth seeing are the gargoyles, one in the form of a dog with floppy ears and a modern statue of St. Anthony with the baby Jesus, which are remembered for their striking good humor.

Finally, vacation! The whole family is finally setting off for Brittany. After 700 km, we need a break. The motorway service station is completely overcrowded, so we just drive off. By chance, we end up in Villedieu-les-Poêles-Rouffigny, a small, historic town in Normandy. The large town square is closed off; the 80th anniversary of the liberation is being celebrated. And amazingly, the black, red and gold German flag is hanging on the town hall. We sit down in a cafe on the town square and drink a Coke. Next to us, the golden statue of the Republic with a Phrygian cap gleams from a high column erected in 1889 to mark the 100th anniversary of the revolution. Opposite, the Gothic tower of the church towers over the old stone houses; gargoyles, which fortunately have nothing to do today, look down from high roofs, including a dog-like one with funny floppy ears. Next to it is a boulangerie, which is chosen to replenish the provisions and to check the usability of the school French. The result is a taste experience: wonderfully crispy baguette, wonderful, finely wrapped croissants and a dark bread with a strong, crunchy crust, in which nuts and raisins are baked. The latter definitely justifies a detour to this wonderful bakery. Another quick look into the church: an early Gothic-looking room with small windows, round columns and a heavy vault. We are delighted to see and meet an exceptionally cheerful Saint Anthony with a happy baby Jesus in his arms. Another short stroll through the beautiful, flower-adorned streets, then we continue our journey, rested.

"Hambye Abbey is the best-preserved medieval monastery in Normandy after Mont-Saint-Michel." (Google). The Benedictine monastery was founded in 1145. It is a truly mystical place to visit. https://de.normandie-tourisme.fr/gehenswuerdigkeiten/abbaye-de-hambye/ Prices and opening times: https://abbaye-hambye.manche.fr/infos-pratiques/preparer-ma-visite/
