Campsite near Avranches The sub-prefecture of the Manche department, Avranches has a population of around 8,500, compared with 117,432 for the arrondissement. It is therefore first and foremost an administrative center, home to a court of first instance and a district court, which has an impact on an essentially agricultural region. Sheep are raised on the shores of the Mont Saint Michel bay (salt meadows), and dairy cows and horses inland. The climate, tempered by the proximity of the sea, is ideal for market gardening. Our campsite in the Manche region is located around 80 km from the town of Avranches. In this context, Avranches has been able to develop its trade harmoniously. In a pleasant, well-kept setting, you’ll find a range of products and services to satisfy the most diverse requirements and tastes. The streets are particularly lively on Saturdays, when a large market attracts people from the surrounding area and offers much-appreciated farm produce. With the construction of the A84 freeway (Route des Estuaires) at the foot of Avranches, the town is now experiencing a revival of economic dynamism, reinforced by the inter-communal structure. When you stay at our campsite near Avranches, you can discover Chausey or Granville. Tous les lieux
