Footbridge to Mont Saint-Michel

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Since 2014, the footbridge has replaced the old dike-road which led to Mont-Saint-Michel. It is part of the operation to restore the maritime character of Mont-Saint-Michel. Carried out from 2005 to 2015, this development served to restore the unique character of the block housing the abbey. Crossing the bridge on foot is a wonderful experience.

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.

Cycle path along the Couesnon River

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Couesnon is a small coastal river that flows into the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. As you walk along its banks, approaching the coast, views of the incredible monument unfold one after another.

Beautiful view of Mont-Saint-Michel (Barrage)

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Couesnon dam bridge, you have a wide-angle view of Mont-Saint-Michel and its bay. Make a short stop before setting off on the long road to Rennes.
