2-hour/3-km discovery walk with Julien, a passionate live guide!

A tour accessible to EVERYONE and in all seasons, with a passionate live guide!
Limited group for a fun and convivial discovery.

French-speaking tour! For English speakers, come for landscapes and adventure. I can only do short translations for your comfort and safety.

Gear
The crossing is done barefoot and in shorts or a bathing suit in the "summer season". Bring:
- a hiking-style backpack for water + sun protection (hat, sunscreen, glasses)
- windproof/waterproof jacket + warm sweater/fleece
- Light footwear (Crocs, sandals, old sneakers)
- a camera (in a plastic bag), binoculars
- collar + leash for dogs (free if I am informed in detail in advance)
- a water bottle and a towel for washing your feet

My approach
As a passionate nature guide, I create unique routes for you with each tide. The goal: to let you experience unique moments in the Bay while avoiding the crowds!
Guided and lively excursions in small groups for a fun and friendly discovery "off the beaten track" (25 to 35 people max instead of 50 to 60 people per guide / 40 for family discovery)
Wide open spaces, crossing waterways, an introduction to quicksand, fauna & flora, history & legends, a spectacular arrival at Mont-Saint-Michel...
