Le Val-Saint-Père - Whenever we visit Ma Normandie, we stay at a bed-and-breakfast here on the lowlands of the Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel on the outskirts of Avranches. These photos were taken on some of our many delightful walks along the estuary trail and the country roads of Le Val-Saint-Père. See Map
