Old railway station

Highlight • Historical Site

This old station is located on the old railway route, now converted into a greenway. It's nice to find a water point there as well as benches and tables.

Montgommery Castle was rebuilt in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 16th century, the castle took the name of the Montgommery family. Famous, Gabriel I of Montgommery, owner of the castle, took part in the rue Saint-Antoine tournament and, by bad luck, mortally wounded King Henri II in the eye. Interestingly, this did not result in his own death. It was his conversion to Protestantism that led to his execution and the confiscation of his castle. Two years after his death, Henry III authorized Gabriel I de Montgommery's son, Gabriel II, to reoccupy the castle.

Ducey

Highlight • Settlement

Ducey is a very pleasant little village with various shops to eat and many green spaces to rest.

The Montgommery castle on the banks of the La Sélune river offers pretty landscapes just a few dozen meters from the Véloscénie.

Carrefour Market, Ducey

Highlight • Rest Area

This was our last supermarket on the way to Mont St. Michel to stock up on food for self-sufficiency. Of course, it required a small climb from the Voie Verte. But it was worth it!
