Demanding

Great hike of 07 hours through the bay of Mont Saint Michel

This traverse is a 07 hours guided hike starting from Saint-Léonard bound for Mont Saint Michel.
At the start, you will be able to discover a magnificent panorama of the bay and see the itinerary of the day between land and sea.
After crossing a small mud flat we will go to Tombelaine which will be about 02:30 walking.
Once there, you can enjoy a well-deserved break, time also for me to tell you in a few words about the past of this islet rich in history and to tell you the legend that surrounds it.
Then we will head to Mont Saint Michel which is about 03 kilometers away.
After crossing the various rivers of the bay, we arrive on Mont Saint Michel for a new break where you can enjoy the place at your own pace.
After this healthy break, which can vary according to the pace of march of the groups, it is time to go back to Saint-Léonard before the flow arrives.
The return trip takes about 02:30am, on this trip we will discover and experience the famous quicksand and I will also tell you about the project of restoration of maritime character of Mont Saint Michel.
Once you arrive at your destination, you may be able to wait for a short hour to attend the Rising tide (the tidal bore) that can happen according to legend to the speed of a galloping horse.
