Old priory attached to Mont Saint Michel, the ultimate stage for pilgrims before the Merveille.

Amazing clock tower. According to the info sign the 'twin towers' are from the 12th C and the Belfry was added at the end of the 15th C. So a very historic spot. The small square in front of the tower is peaceful and hassle-free Use one of the many clean public benches as a base to enjoy your picnic. Afterwards go to the small cafe on the corner, order and pay for your coffee and they will bring it out to your table (a slight upgrade from the bench!). I discreetly ate a clafoutis de cerise with the coffee, and no-one objected.

Astounding small sculpture park which you can freely wander round. Nice clean bench at the top, from which you can enjoy the view over the landscape. Munch your snack and sup your drink and revel in having got to the high-point of this tour.

The tidal dam over the Couesnon not only offers an interesting technical aspect, but also a wonderful setting for hiking and cycling in the region around Mont Saint-Michel. The dam controls the inflow of sea water and thus creates a unique landscape that changes between the tides. The comfortable bridge takes you to the vast polder areas, where nature shows its gentle and calm side. The path along the river leads directly to the impressive Mont Saint-Michel, always with a view of the historical landmark.
