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.

Cancale Oyster Farms

Highlight • Structure

Cancale's oyster farms are among the most famous oyster-farming areas in France. Thanks to the nutrient-rich waters and strong tides, the conditions here are ideal for farming. Several thousand tons of oysters are produced annually on approximately 400 hectares – primarily the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and the flat oyster (Ostrea edulis). The oysters mature in metal racks or bags exposed at low tide, allowing farmers to regularly turn and care for them.
Oyster farming has been part of Cancale's identity for centuries and was recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of France in 2019. Visitors can tour the farms, for example at the Ferme Marine de Cancale (ferme-marine.com/de/), where they can learn about the farmers' work and taste fresh oysters firsthand.

Château Richeux

Highlight • Castle

Château Richeux was the realization of the dream of a woman of rare refinement, Madame SHAKI.
She fell in love with this wild moorland facing the bay of Mont Saint Michel and decided to build her home there with the help of a young architect from Saint-Malo Yves HEMAR, who would sign the most beautiful homes on the coast.
This large villa from the 1920s, which she baptized “Serenity at daybreak”, was the privileged witness to joyful dinners where artists, intellectuals and politicians rubbed shoulders between the two wars.
After years of successive changes of owners, Jane and Olivier Roellinger have, in turn, fallen under the spell of this enchanting place.
In 1992, they created a hotel there with 11 rooms and 2 suites and opened La Table du Coquillage where Hugo has been cooking since 2014.
To come and contemplate the bay and let yourself be lulled by the rhythm of the tides, you can book your stay on our website.
