The water we crossed was quite muddy, but that's just a side note.

a bridge over the river is always useful

The Couesnon, a small river that flows into the sea near the famous Mont-Saint-Michel, is a wonderful companion on your hike or bike ride along the Véloscénie. The last few kilometers in particular offer magnificent views of the Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey, which rises majestically above the landscape. The quiet river banks and the wide fields along the way create a peaceful atmosphere that is perfect for a moment's pause before arriving at the Mont. Beauvoir, a small village on the right bank of the Couesnon, is a great place for a last break. Here you can enjoy the peace and quiet before moving on to experience the magnificent panorama of Mont-Saint-Michel in all its glory. The view of the abbey from a distance is spectacular, especially in clear weather conditions, and changes depending on the light and time of day. This section of the route lets you experience Normandy in all its scenic diversity - from wide meadows and rolling hills to the coastal plain that paves the way to the legendary island. Ideal for those who want to discover the Mont on a slightly quieter route

The Greenway along the Couesnon offers a peaceful and pleasant bike ride in a picturesque setting. The small river meanders through the countryside and as you approach the coast, the view of the iconic Mont Saint-Michel suddenly opens up. A moment that invites you to pause as the silhouette of the abbey comes ever closer. The path is lined with fields and the gentle river bank, making the ride particularly relaxing. Ideal for a relaxed day on the bike, with the majestic fortress as your destination.
