Hiking
The mudflat hike to Mont Saint-Michel usually starts at the Le Grouin du Sud headland near Genêts. This is the official starting point for guided tours through the bay, which lead across the mudflats to Mont Saint-Michel at low tide. The trail should only be undertaken with a certified mudflat guide, as the area is potentially dangerous due to tides, currents, and quicksand. Popular providers such as Chemins de la Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel regularly organize safe tours from Genêts.
