Nothing beats spending a day together as a family in the great outdoors of the Bay of the Mont-Saint-Michel to recharge our batteries, with a memorable crossing of the bay with Sylvie, our guide.
walk BAREFOOTin the bay’s quicksands
After breakfast, we head off to explore the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel with Sylvie, who is qualified to take visitors on guided tours of the UNESCO world heritage site. Crossing the bay through outstanding panoramic landscapes is one of our most memorable experiences! You can venture out there alone, but it can be a risky journey. The best and safest way to explore safely, especially with kids, is to book a guided walk with a local expert like Sylvie as the Mont-Saint-Michel is famed for Europe’s largest tidal variations. On the way, we sample plants picked up from the ground and observe migrating birds. We take time to get sand between our toes, feel the mud under our feet and experience the quick sands phenomenon!
The MONT-SAINT MICHEL
The Mont-Saint-Michel and its Bay are a listed World Heritage Site.
Located between the towns of Granville and Cancale, the island is surrounded by the sea at high tide and makes for a spectacular sight.
