This walk takes you to the heights of the Balcon de la Baie and offers stunning views of the bay and Mont-Saint-Michel. The richness of this circuit is linked to the variations of landscapes, colours and contrasts. From the balcony of the bay, successive enchanting panoramas of the bay are revealed during the walk. The rural stage at Pas Gérault pond will also please the whole family.

The circuit invites you to discover the region’s contrasting landscapes: the polders, the arable land reclaimed from the sea and the balcony of the bay that dominates Mont-Saint-Michel Bay. Among the stages of the walk, La Chapelle Sainte-Anne, beautifully marked, the panoramic garden in Roz-sur-Couesnon and the Chappe Telegraph are all sites that are part of the bay’s heritage and history.
