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.
