Great walk, interesting information from guide, moving sands experience

O

We had a great tour with Julian. It was nice to see the Mont Saint-Michel and experience it in silence and without too many tourists around. Julian was explaining everything very passionately and clearly. We would recommend anyone visiting the Mont Saint-Michel to also include a walk through the bay.

Full description

Equipment :

Bring a towel and a change for your return.

I strongly recommend going barefoot.
Tours in the Bay require good physical condition.
The guide gives himself the right to refuse to accompany someone in the bay, from a safety perspective.
The guide cannot be held responsible for any related incident.

For any tours departing from Mont Saint-Michel consider it takes 45 minutes from the park area until the entrence.

___________________
Crossing the Bay:
The Bay of Mont Saint Michel on foot :

With the tides, the sea goes aways to reveal the Bay. A desert immensity open in front of you for a few hours. On the erased traces of forgotten paths, between sky, earth and sea, crossing sometimes capricious rivers, dancing on the quick sands, at the foot of the Archangel Saint Michael... before the sea comes to cover our steps.

The tour was very interesting. A nice opportunity to see the Mont Saint-Michel from the other side and to experience the quicksand. The guide Julien was excellent and helpful, he talked belingual - french and english for those whose french was poor. Wonderfull experience!
