Thought to have been built in the 16th or 17th Century (nobody is quite sure) this little town-house has been thoroughly modernised retaining its quirky original features. She has a lovely history, during World War II in her attics she hid an old valve radio which was tuned in to London to hear of the war effort; later she became a café. René , René where are you?

The Mont St Michel / Pontorson area
Around each corner there is beautiful and varied architecture, ancient and historic, dappled with friendly bars, restaurants and shops. Lovely walks beside the river Couesnon which is the historic split between Brittany and Normandy.
Pontorson is named after Monsieur Orson, a Norman Chief, who had the bridge (Pont meaning bridge) built across the river in 1031 under the command of Robert The Devil, William the Conqueror’s father. The bridge allowed the Norman troops to get back into Normandy after their battles in neighbouring Brittany.
The church L’église Notre-Dame was the wish of William Conqueror, it was built by the fellow who built Mont Saint-Michel. With Roman and Gothic transition through twelfth and fifteenth centuries, its porch flanked by two Romanesque towers it is said that it was given to the town in 1158 by the King Henry II.
Pontorson is set along the banks of the River Couesnon leading to Le Mont Saint Michel. Once having a fortified Chateau where Bertrand du Guesclin 'The Black Dog of Brittany' based himself, also known as the ‘Captaine of Pontorson’, he had such a history of attacks against the Channel Isles and English Invasions!
