The Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel

Highlight • Lake

Mont Saint Michel Bay is known for its vast foreshores and changing seascape, where the water recedes far into the horizon at low tide. The area is popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing, which take advantage of the strong coastal winds. The bay is also a great place to observe the traditional practice of shellfish collecting, with mussel beds visible at low tide.

Moulin de la Saline

Highlight • Monument

Dozens of windmills once lined the coastline of the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. Very few are still functional today. The Saline mill is an exception. It is open to visitors.

Chapelle Sainte-Anne-de-la-Grève

Highlight • Religious Site

The Chapelle Sainte-Anne is a small chapel located on top of the dike of the Duchesse Anne, on the outskirts of Saint-Broladre, in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. The chapel was built in the 11th century to invoke the protection of Sainte-Anne against the flooding of the salt marshes. The current chapel was rebuilt in 1684, as evidenced by the inscription on the wall. The chapel has a simple shape with a wooden vault and a bell tower on the roof. Inside, there is an altarpiece from the 19th century and a painting with the names of the survivors of the World War II concentration camps. The chapel is a place of worship and pilgrimage for Sainte-Anne, the patron saint of Brittany. Every summer, on the fourth Sunday of July, a mass is celebrated and a procession is held with the wooden statue of Sainte-Anne. The chapel also offers a beautiful view of the bay and the island of Mont-Saint-Michel. The chapel is owned by the Conservatoire du littoral and has been registered as a historical monument since 1926.

The dam on the Couesnon

Highlight • Other

The footpath along the Couesnon to the dam already offers an impressive view of Mont-Saint-Michel. From here, the path with an unobstructed view leads across the salt marshes and the bay, with the landmark of Normandy impressively rising against the wide landscape. Especially in calm weather and with changing light, atmospheric views emerge of Mont-Saint-Michel, the course of the Couesnon river, and the tide-shaped surroundings.

Mont-Dol

Highlight • Summit

From the top of Mont-Dol (65 m), magnificent 360 ° view over the bay of Mont St Michel and the marshes of Dol de Bretagne. In 1872 we found bones of mammoths, rhinos, lions, ... in making it the most important Breton Paleolithic site.
