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!

We are happy to help with any activity you require: Golf, swimming, cycling, kayak etc

“Delightful gite on Pontorson market square” We found this gite purely through a web search for places around Mt St Michel (about 5ks) and Pontorson happens to be twinned with our home town. It turned out to be the perfect choice for... more
