Free visit of the Baie du Mont Saint-Michel ecomuseum
On the edge of the shore with a breathtaking view of Mont Saint-Michel, discover how the natural environments of the Bay work, the way man has been using these very special spaces for centuries and the evolution of landscapes through the ages. Explore the fauna and flora during the seasons as well as the different natural environments. The preservation of these balances is today a major challenge for this area listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Man lives in this environment and has always exploited its riches. In the past, he extracted salt from it by an original process that has now disappeared. The workshop of the saunier makes you discover this ancestral technique. Professional foot fishing, once very active, is now gradually being replaced by new activities such as the rearing of oysters, mussels and salted meadow sheep. Objects collected on the territory (fishing gear on foot, nets...) tell you this local story. All these spaces embellished with films, models, interactive terminals are within the reach of both adults and children.
