Fishing is possible at two of the four Étangs du Point du Jour for half a day or a full day. This specific choice of duration can help you plan your stay in Saint-Germain-de-Tallevende-la-Lande-Vaumont. Other options include the Dolmen de la Loge aux Sarrazins, the historic Clos Fortin estate, walks and a route that offers the chance to discover the voie verte. If you are looking for hotels, first consider whether cultural history, fishing, outdoor activities or local produce should shape your stay.
Cultural history at the dolmen and Clos Fortin
The Dolmen de la Loge aux Sarrazins is located in Saint-Germain-de-Tallevende-la-Lande-Vaumont. It was classified as a Monument historique by decree on 26 June 1934. Clos Fortin offers a different historical perspective: the estate was built in the 16th to 17th centuries and altered in the 18th century. The classified grounds cover 10 hectares. They still include a French garden enclosed by walls and topiary decorated with boxwood.
For the dolmen, the date of the decree is the specific historical reference; at Clos Fortin, the focus is on the estate’s construction and subsequent alterations. The two cultural highlights thus differ not only in their design, but also in how they are placed in their historical context.

The route “114 – Le dolmen de la loge aux Sarrasins” starts at the hikers’ stop in Saint-Germain-de-Tallevende. It offers the chance to discover the voie verte de Vire au Mont Saint Michel.

Along the cycle route, the hikers’ stop in Saint-Germain-de-Tallevende has covered picnic tables, sanitary facilities, a shower and power outlets. These amenities give cyclists practical details to consider when planning. They differ from the walking route, where the starting point and the opportunity to discover the voie verte are the main features.
Walks and fishing at the ponds
The Étangs du Point du Jour comprise four ponds; fishing is possible at two of them for a full day or half a day. Charges are based on weight, and fishing rods and bait are provided. The ponds are also a pleasant place for walks. This means the site offers different options: you can plan a walk or consider the fishing opportunity with its specified duration. If you are planning to fish, check the latest information about the arrangements in advance.
Honey products from the Bocage Virois
