The salt marsh path (* public access is via an unlocked gate) leads through the expansive landscape of the bay and offers a particularly impressive way to experience the famous Klosterberg from a quieter perspective. The paths run through the prés-salés (salt marshes) shaped by the tides, which are crisscrossed by numerous tidal creeks. These small watercourses regularly change their appearance with ebb and flow, creating popular photo opportunities together with the grassy areas and reflections.

Numerous inlets criss-cross the meadows and channel seawater through the vast terrain at low and high tide. These small watercourses with their reflections and the wide grassy areas also form a popular photo spot and offer impressive motifs, especially with Mont-Saint-Michel in the background.

The salt marshes of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel shape the unique landscape of Normandy. Regular flooding with seawater creates a special vegetation that is perfectly adapted to the saline conditions. The famous salt marsh sheep (*Prés-salés*), whose meat acquires a special flavor due to their special diet, graze in these meadows. The vast areas are also a valuable habitat for numerous animal and plant species and offer an impressive view of Mont-Saint-Michel at low tide.

La Roche Torin is a prominent vantage point in the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel. This spot offers a unique view of the bay and is a popular destination for hikers and photographers, especially during strong tides (coefficient over 100). The tidal coefficient is the most important indicator for assessing the dynamics of the bay. A coefficient over 100 indicates spectacular tide conditions and a natural spectacle. Here in the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel, the highest tides in Europe occur, with a tidal range of up to 15 meters between high and low tide.
