To fully enjoy the delights of Mont Saint-Michel Bay with complete peace of mind.
This outing is offered only during spring tides. After crossing the tidal flats (about 3 hours 30 minutes), you enjoy a short break at Mont-Saint-Michel.
With the guide, you’ll watch the wave as it moves up the rivers and channels like a cavalry charge. This wave, known as the “mascaret”—or “barre” in Normandy—surges up the river at the foot of Mont-Saint-Michel and signals the sea’s arrival. According to legend, it moves “at the speed of a galloping horse”.
You then return by shuttle and then by bus (1 hour 30 minutes), with your guide.
At the end of the day, you walk towards Mont-Saint-Michel one way and discover the bay at sunset. As the light fades, a sense of calm settles over the tidal flats…
A few guided stops let you enjoy the soothing feeling of the setting sun. The return is by shuttle and then by bus (1 hour 30 minutes).

*Mascaret: a long breaking wave that occurs when the river’s current is opposed by the incoming tide.
