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.

My name is Julian
Be careful the gps doesn’t know the place and will lead you to a wrong place. (There is no exact address). You need to park at the Mont Saint Michel parking. There you will have a free shuttle to go to the Mont Saint Michel. It takes time to go from the parking to the entrance. I recommend to take 45 min from the parking to the entrance
