Out & About

St Sever is an ideal base from which to discover this varied region of Lower Normandy.

 

The outdoor public swimming pool, open July and August is 5 minutes walk from The Village House. (A real favourite with the local children in the summer).


Close by is the town of Villedieu les Poeles which is famous for it's bell making and copper pans. You can visit the bell foundry and watch the craftsmen at work. There is a large market every Tuesday morning that is good for browsing all the local produce.

Other Activities within easy reach....


Excellent Zoo, at Champrepus, just beyond Villedieu - 20 minutes drive.


The magnificent National Horse Stud at St Lo, with guided tours and parades (30 minutes drive).


Vire town with lots of shops and a large hypermarket, market day is on Friday morning, 15 minutes away.
