View of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel

Highlight • Viewpoint

Direct view of the famous island on the other side of the bay. At low tide you can imagine walking there, but the distance is still considerable.

This town not only houses a Maison de la Baie, there are also numerous guide associations. The robust, granite Eglise Notre-Dame (12th-14th century) is preceded by a beautiful, paneled portal (16th century). Inside, the celebration makes a particularly powerful impression. It rests on four square, granite pillars, the capitals of which are decorated with animal and leaf motifs. The main altar is topped by an 18th-century canopy resting on four columns that are slightly thickened in the middle. The apse has a beautiful stained glass window, some of which date from the 13th century.

Saint-Jean-le-Thomas Beach

Highlight • Beach

Plage de Saint-Jean-le-Thomas is a beach located in the commune of Saint-Jean-le-Thomas in the department of Manche in Normandy, France. It is the first beach of the bay that you will find if you arrive from the south, when you come from Granville and go towards Mont Saint-Michel. It has a beautiful sandy beach at high tide, and the sea retreats very far at low tide. You can enjoy a panoramic view of Mont Saint-Michel, Tombelaine and the Emerald Coast from its beaches.
