October 18, 2025, Cabanne Vauban de Saint Jean

Perched high above the coast of Saint-Jean-le-Thomas, with breathtaking views of the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel, stands the Cabane Vauban – a silent witness to a bygone era. This small stone hut dates back to the 17th century and was built during the reign of the great fortress builder Vauban. It once served as a watchtower, monitoring the coast and controlling smuggling.

But not necessarily recommended by bike! There are steep stairs up and down!

A recently renovated Vauban cabin accessible via a small trail that starts in the Vallée des Peintres. Panoramic views of the cliffs of Carolles, Jullouville, and the entire Bay of Granville are offered. Access is also possible by road from Groussey.

In addition to the lighthouse, there are several bunkers from the Second World War on the plateau.

Fewer and fewer trails accessible by mountain bike (trees across, barbed wire signs, etc.) because of the lord who privatizes as much as possible
