For pupils in Years 1, 2 and 3, we offer walks starting from Mont Saint Michel, without crossing any rivers for safety reasons.
For pupils in Years 5 and 6, it is possible to make the entire crossing during periods of low tide.<\/p>

For these walks and crossings, two options are available:<\/p>

\u2192 The \u2018Traditional\u2019 crossing, which is guided but without commentary, allows you to discover the immensity of the beaches, walk on the sand and get close to the quicksand.<\/p>

\u2192 The guided \u2018Discover the Bay\u2019 tour includes commentary. In addition to exploring the beaches, the guide will tell you about the history of the bay, its flora and fauna, traditional activities, and more. <\/p>

Themed outings are also available if you wish to focus on a particular subject.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
