Hôtel de France Vire

We were treated with wonderful courtesy. We arrived late in the evening, as planned. As one of us doesn't walk well, the cheerful receptionist secured parking for us adjacent to the hotel, and access through the ground-floor garage which has lifts to the upper floors (avoiding the steps at the entrance). She and a kind young porter brought our luggage to our room, where the receptionist turned on the lights to provide a welcoming entry. We'd asked for an accessible room if available. As someone booked later than we did but for much longer, the receptionist had upgraded our room to a large, well-appointed one with an easy-access shower. Having slept too late for breakfast the next morning, we found a popular patisserie a block away near the impressive 13th-century Porte Horlogue (clock gate), which survived the city's heavy WWII bombing. TIP: On Sundays in France, at least one patisserie is open in most towns & villages, typically until 12 or 1pm, though little else (if anything) will be. With admirable cooperation, the patisseries in each village and town take turns staying open while the others close on Sundays, holidays and for vacations. Gradually, more shops are gaining government permission to open on Sundays. I found some current info at https://about-france.com/holidays-sundays.htm.
