Walk into Barenton for your fresh baguettes or drive 10- 15 minutes into the local town of Mortain. This town has a large outdoor swimming pool (seasonal). Your trip would not be complete without a visit to the wonderful scenic Petite and Grand falls or Petite Chapelle (small chapel) housing an American war monument with panoramic views stretching for miles. Mortain also has a disused monastery which you can visit, this was one of the last working ones in France. Other places of interest include Mont St Michel approximately 1 and 1/4 hours drive away.

Peace & tranquility
Had a lovely stay at Gite Grace. Gite has everything you need. Decor was to my taste - very shabby chic. Garden is lovely and quiet. Gite is very rural (further from the village than we expected - bikes would have been ideal). If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing, quiet time away from it all - then this for you.

Lovely clean gite in a quiet location
The gite is located down a quiet lane so only had the cows for company which was nice. The gite was very clean on arrival and had all the basic items needed. The location is good for exploring the surrounding area of Normandy, Domfront had a bit more restaurants and we also went to Jullouville on the coast which was a good beach town. Mortain and the cascades are definitely worth look. Overall a lovely stay.
