Coutances is in northwestern France, in the Manche department of Normandy. A lovely town to explore, the Coutances cathedral built in the 11th century draws the most attention. Its elaborate, gothic design and stained glass windows are a sight to behold, especially in the summer evenings when a sound and light show takes place. Other tourist attractions include the ancient hospital, the public botanical gardens, and the Museum Quesnel-Morinière - a museum housed in an attractive 18th-century building. If you travel further along the coast to the west of Coutances, there are various small towns and villages including Donville-les-Bains, the popular resort at Granville.
