Discover the bay of Mont Saint-Michel

Hotel La Croix d’Or offers an authentic and comfortable stay in Avranches, an ideal starting point for exploring the Manche region.

Staying in the historic town of Avranches means enjoying a privileged location for discovering the treasures of the Manche: its wild beaches stretching as far as the eye can see, its unspoiled harbors and charming villages, and of course, its unmissable Mont Saint-Michel Abbey, a jewel of Normandy tourism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

From its Botanical Garden, you can admire an exceptional view of the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel.

The town also charms with its old town center, the Basilica of Saint-Gervais, and the Scriptorial, a unique museum dedicated to the manuscripts of Mont Saint-Michel. Heading north along the coast, Granville, an elegant seaside resort with a prestigious maritime past, reveals its treasures, including its famous Christian Dior Museum. To the south, just an hour from the hotel, Brittany unfolds its magnificent Emerald Coast and renowned seaside resorts: Saint-Malo, Dinard, Dinan, Cancale... For history buffs and those interested in places of remembrance, the famous D-Day landing beaches are an hour and a half from our hotel, crossing the Normandy countryside and... Bayeux.
