Ducey has assets

There was the property of course, but the fact that Ducey is a Stopover Village, Green Station, located less than five kilometers from the highway and that it has five restaurants and bars were decisive in our project.

"The proximity of Ducey to Le Mont-Saint-Michel, 20 minutes by road and the cycle path that leads to La Merveille, also makes it one of its major assets”, argues Guillaume Rieunier, also very smiling.
