On Sundays, May 4 and August 3, 2025, step off the beaten path and experience the Bay Discovery event at sunrise!
At the dawn of the bay, share a special moment with family or friends…
An unforgettable experience at sunrise! In the nascent light, embark on this mythical crossing of Mont Saint-Michel Bay. Starting from the salt marshes of Saint-Léonard, you will witness the enchanting spectacle of dawn gradually caressing the thousand-year-old monument. The first rays of sun reveal the magic of this ever-changing landscape.
Accompanied by your guide, you will discover the secrets of the estuarine zone where the Sée and Sélune rivers meet. To the rhythm of your steps on the tangue, you will cross rivers and explore the mysterious quicksands. A well-deserved break at the foot of the Mont will allow you to contemplate the journey covered, before starting the return, which the rising tide will not fail to hasten.
Throughout this morning hike, your guide will share their knowledge of the fauna, the flora of the salt marshes, the phenomenon of tides, the ancestral traditions of fishing and salt harvesting, the fascinating geology of the bay, the history of the Mont and its neighboring islet Tombelaine, not to mention the legends that have inhabited these places since the dawn of time…
