Church of Saint-Sulpice

   The church of Saint-Sulpice is the former parish church of the commune of Saint-Vigor-le-Grand. It is small and retains its Romanesque nave with herringbone pattern bonding and very narrow bays topped by a single stone lintel. A gable bell tower surmounts the west façade of the nave. The choir which is more elevated, dates from the 13th century.
