Saint-Lô is a gorgeous town in the Manche region of Normandy. The second stage of the 2016 Tour de France started in this town, which was adorned with yellow and polka dot bicycles and full of cycling fans! It's the second largest town in the region (Cherbourg being the largest), and you can find lots of options here for overnight accommodation and meals if you're following the Véloroutes including the Vélomaritime or the Tour de Manche that pass through on the River Vire here. The most impressive structures here are the old town walls, that in part go back to Medieval times.
