Its origins date back to the 6th century, when the future Saint Leonard worked in the region. In 1087, William the Conqueror granted the fief of Vains to the Abbey of Saint-Étienne in Caen, which subsequently founded the priory. The building dates back to the 11th century and has been restored several times over the centuries. Today, the priory serves as a holiday accommodation.

The Routout farm in Saint-Léonard was acquired by the Conservatoire du Littoral in 1994 and, after extensive renovations, opened as the Maison de la Baie/Relais de Vains in 2001. In 2011, it evolved into the Écomusée de la Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel, incorporating content from the Maison de la Baie/Relais de Courtils.

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.

Here you can walk a little away from the tourist crowds. After rainy weather it can be a little muddy and slippery in some places. But the view of Mont Saint Michel is great 🥰.

The entrance is not immediately obvious. You get the impression that it is private property. But you actually have to climb over the fence here.
