Mont Saint-Michel Heritage Trail

This heritage trail explores the cultural landscape of the Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel, a UNESCO World Heritage site spanning Normandy and Brittany. Beyond the Benedictine abbey and the medieval island village, the route encompasses the 19th-century Moulin de Moidrey, the Neolithic menhir of La Roche Longue, and the ruins on Tombelaine island. Key sites include historic timber-framed houses like the Maison de l'Artichaut and the sacred Fontaine Saint-Aubert, which once provided the island's primary fresh water source.
