From this point, you have a panoramic view of the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel, including: 1/ Mont Saint-Michel itself in the distance, majestic on its rocky island, and 2/ the vast salt marshes ("herbus") and mudflats, which change dramatically depending on the tide.

The Grouin du Sud is a natural headland offering impressive views of the bay and the famous Klosterberg. Depending on the tide, the landscape alternates between vast mudflats and ocean views, making the place particularly charming.

La Roche Torin is a prominent vantage point in the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel. This spot offers a unique view of the bay and is a popular destination for hikers and photographers, especially during strong tides (coefficient over 100). The tidal coefficient is the most important indicator for assessing the dynamics of the bay. A coefficient over 100 indicates spectacular tide conditions and a natural spectacle. Here in the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel, the highest tides in Europe occur, with a tidal range of up to 15 meters between high and low tide.
