Coast/Beach
Domfront town dates back to the 11th century, the first fortification being erected on a sandstone promontory, which overlooked the Varene around 1010.
Domfront was surrounded with deep moats and an enclosed wall built by Guillaume de Talvas. For many centuries Domfront castle was one of France's strong holds due to its strategic position. Today it offers great exploring for young and old, through the winding cobbled streets.
