A river and a flowered city: welcome to Ducey
The village of Ducey, with the River Sélune flowing by, looks over the Bay of the Mont St-Michel and acts as a gateway to its memorable plains.
In centuries past, Ducey was a port where boatmen made use of the tides to come and go, before the harbour silted up. Remnants of Ducey's strategic and trading past include the Château des Montgommery and the old bridge, both from the 17th century. The place is now a charming tourist destination and full of flowers.

24 St-Hilaire-du-Harcouët / Ducey
You may get a scent of sea air as you ride along this penultimate stage between the town of St-Hilaire-du-Harcouët, founded by a companion in arms of William the Conqueror, and Ducey, a former port where boats would arrive, pushed along by the tide.
25 Ducey / Mont-Saint-Michel
So, you embark on the final stage of the Veloscenic cycle route. A greenway meanders to the mouth of the Sélune River and continues beside the great Bay of the Mont Saint-Michel, offering you joyous shifting views of the abbey on its mount rising above the salty meadows known as prés salés.
