The Couesnon dike connects the mainland to Mont-Saint-Michel by crossing the polders. By bike, it offers a unique perspective of the bay and its expanses. This rolling, windy section gives the approach to the Mont its character.

Mont de Huisnes is one of the German military cemeteries in Normandy. Nearly 20,000 fallen soldiers from the entire region during the D-Day campaign in 1944 rest here. The complex is circular, with the urns of the fallen gathered in galleries with cubicles containing the compartments. Visitors can access the upper level, where a lawn with a cross marks the center of this exceptionally dignified site. The information room offers detailed documentation and case studies of individual victims in three languages. A well-maintained site that makes a valuable contribution to remembrance and a reminder of peace. Thank you for this!
