Things To Do

Normandie is a very special part of France. We hope you love it as much as we do!
Le Mont Saint-Michel

Le Mont Saint-Michel

Mont Saint-Michel, Normandie 50170, France

This tidal island and UNESCO World Heritage Site is unmissable when traveling to Normandy! Mont Saint-Michel is about 90 mins from our venue. Plan ahead if you want to visit Le Mont and the abbey at the top; this is one of the most popular tourist attractions in France.

Tour de France, Stages 5 & 6

Tour de France, Stages 5 & 6

The Tour de France will be nearby in Normandy at the time of our wedding. (No, we did not know this when we chose our date and venue!) Stage 5 of the Tour on July 9th will be individual time trials in the city of Caen. Stage 6, on July 10th, will be a 200km route between the towns of Bayeux and Vire Normandie. Even if you do not plan to catch part of the Tour, we want you to be aware that this event is happening in the area as there may be traffic and road closures.
