Saint-Michel-de-Montjoie

Highlight • Settlement

Very sparsely populated, this town nevertheless has several attractions, starting with its pretty belvedere from the church. Further north is also the charming little chapel of Nouettes.

But the emblematic place of the village is most certainly the park-museum of granite. In the first half of the 20th century, a hundred quarries were exploited on the municipal territory. No wonder Saint-Michel-de-Montjoie was chosen to host this museum which traces the history of the region's granite, Bleu de Vire.

Open-air exhibition of sculptures made from granite from the quarries of the town. The great granite era of Saint-Michel-de-Montjoie dates back to the first half of the 20th century, during which a hundred quarries of all sizes were exploited.

The Clock Tower

Highlight • Other

The Porte Horloge de Vire is an impressive wicket tower built in the 13th century as part of the city's fortifications and topped with a clock gifted by King Louis XI in the 15th century. You can admire the architecture and the statue of the Virgin Mary, believed to protect the city, as well as the exhibitions held inside the tower during the summer. La Porte Horloge is located in the center of the city and is easily accessible by bike.
