Lets walk through and take a good look.....
Thought to have been built in the 16th or 17th Century (nobody is quite sure) this little town-house has been thoroughly modernised retaining its quirky original features. She has a lovely history, during World War II in her attics she hid an old valve radio which was tuned in to London to hear of the war effort; later she became a café. René , René where are you?
Entering directly from the market square up a set of hefty granite steps the main living room is comfortably furnished with soft cream leather settees and relaxing hues of cream, cornflower blue and beige.
The living room leads to the equipped, fitted kitchen with dishwasher, micro-wave, cooker, fridge and all of the cutlery, plates pots and pans you may need. Off the kitchen is the shower room and wc on the ground floor.
Rising to the first floor landing serving another wc and washroom and the family bedroom with a double and a single bed. Here you'll start to notice the eclectic mix of ancient and modern.
A further set of stairs lead to a further bedroom with double bed, romantically themed with lilac and roses with exposed beams. These stairs are steep and are the original set.

We hope this gives you some flavour of the town. Around each corner there is beautiful and varied architecture, ancient and historic, dappled with friendly bars and restaurants. Lovely walks beside the river Couesnon which is the historic split between Brittany and Normandy. Pontorson is named after the builder of this famous bridge - Monsieur Orson (Pont meaning bridge). 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 |
Please note that Saint-Michel is often booked well in advance for July or August so please make your enquiry as early as possible.
