THINGS TO DO
The things worth doing in Mont-Saint-Michel, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
Grande Rue at eight
The single street through the village is a gauntlet by eleven and genuinely pleasant first thing in the morning.
Église Saint-Pierre
The parish church halfway up the Grande Rue: small, free, and walked past by nearly everyone.
The bay by bike
Cycle paths run the polders and the coast on both sides. Bikes are not allowed on the Mont itself.

Pré-salé lamb
Sheep graze the salt marshes around the bay, and the meat is a protected speciality on menus for miles inland.

Polder walks
Marked footpaths cross the reclaimed farmland behind the bay: flat, quiet, and with the Mont on the horizon.
