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.
