Nominated as the most beautiful kilometer in France, the cliffs of Champeaux offer you an exceptional panorama over the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel. Easy and family walk, its path leads you through a flowery moor (in spring) with a permanent view of the sea. This coastal path passes by the Vauban hut and allows you to make a loop. From the top, you can observe one of the biggest reefs of Hermelles. These giant sand constructions made by a small sea worm reach here 3 km wide and one meter high representing approximately 300 hectares of surface!

This place is also one of the most frequented ornithological sites in Europe. The opportunity to observe many local birds or birds passing through during the great migrations. In September, the Normand Ornitological Group organizes there during the weekend of Saint-Michel a time of observation of migratory birds during which censuses are carried out. It also offers discovery hikes and conferences on birds.

Take advantage of your stay to spend a day in Saint-Malo, a walled corsair city (Surcouf’s birthplace), offering a multitude of activities. Whether you are a fan of architecture (the city was completely rebuilt after the Second World War), long walks on the beach, sand yachting or even a gourmet, you will find what you are looking for here. Don’t hesitate to ask Aurore and Fred for advice so that they can give you all their tips for parking and easy access to the inner city.

The ascent of the Grand Bé, facing the ramparts allows you to go to the tomb of Chateaubriand, facing the sea, who decided to make it his final resting place. A remarkable point of view. This uninhabited island is only accessible at low tide. Pay attention to the tide times!
