This is the famous "Traversée des Grèves", a beautiful hiking tour in a natural setting, towards the Wonder: Mont Saint-Michel.
A longer route for a truly immersive experience: a great classic!
A crossing led and narrated by a passionate live guide, with various insights into the marine environment: the fauna, the flora, the tides, the origins of the Mont, the "desanding" project, etc.
As a passionate nature guide, I will introduce you to this magnificent area in a fun and friendly way, combining natural and historical heritage.
On the program: Wide open spaces, an introduction to quicksand, crossing waterways, information on the tides, fauna & flora, history & legends... A mid-route break at the foot of the Mont.

Departure from a small Norman fishing village, arrival at Le Mont. Break, then drop-off at the starting point. The break does not allow for a visit to Le Mont: it deserves half a day ;-)
