In 2007, a “permanent exhibition on cycling” was inaugurated and more particularly on the passages of the tour in the locality and the various cycling events which took place as well as documentation on the former speaker of the Tour de France, Daniel Mangeas, originally from Saint-Martin-de-Landelles

The “Pont Gilbert - Passerelle de la Sée” is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge that connects Avranches and Marcey-les-Grèves. This bridge is located on the site of a historic bridge and has a ramp for a gentle climb and easy crossing to the other side of the river. It is a very useful bridge and recommended by cyclists. The bridge is also one of the highlights in the Vernix region.

Overlooking the entire bay of Mont Saint Michel, this part of the road from Saint Jean le Thomas to Carolles is incredible. Many equipped stops allow you to enjoy the view from the cliffs. When I was little, my father told me every time we passed that the place was considered "the most beautiful kilometer in France". Not false. Only downside, no cycling facilities, we share the road with cars.

If like me, you come here from the bay of Mont St Michel, it's a beautiful climb that surprises a little but offers by turning your head or stopping on the side a vast panorama overlooking the coast.
