Perhaps the most impressive building in Sourdeval is the fabulous Church of Saint Peter, which is certainly worth taking the trouble to visit. There are many authentic old buildings around the town as well, giving a typically Norman ambience.
As Sourdeval is a market town, the Tuesday morning market is the piece de resistance of local life and a great place to find superb local cheeses, ciders and more.

The shops, supermarkets and restaurants of Sourdeval make life easy and pleasant, and provide just about everything you are likely to need.
Just up the road from Sourdeval is the town of Mortain, famed for its abbey and also for its beautiful waterfalls.
