Well I remember Avranches because it was where I was first able to finally get my hands on a real live Croque Monsieur. And it was very good. It was from a little patisserie on Place General Patton. We didn't have time to explore the town more. I was hoping to take the road up to the viewpoint where we would be able to see the bay, but we only had one shot at it and missed it. There was a nice parking lot with a great looking tourist info, which was unconveniently for some reason closed.
