I took the 3 hour walk around Mont Saint Michel along the mudflats and across rivers and it was a good way to further experience the beauty of the island abbey. The tour was in french but I understood much of what was being said. As the tour ended, the tide came rushing in and watching that was an awesome sight as well.

We visited this zoo while on our summer holidays. The zoo is fairly well publicised and signposted. The parking is well set out and plentiful. Staff at the entrance are very friendly and helpful and speak English if your French isn't good. There is a wide variety of animals from Guinea pigs to giraffes, all in well looked after habitats. Watch out for the goats if you feed them. Great fun but the bigger ones can be a little boisterous! We had lunch at the Sandwich bar. The chicken nuggets and chips were freshly cooked and the beef sandwich was amazing. A big lunch fot four of us came to about 50 euros but it was huge and we could easily have shared. Overall we had a fantastic day, adults and children alike. Definitely going back next holiday.

The best way to get to the Ile Tatihou is by the boat/bus hybrid vehicle. We went in the morning, when the tide was high, by it as a boat. We were a party of five adults and three infants of 6 and 7. The island is small but the walk to the restaurant was about half an hour. The children played in the fortifications of the Vauban Fort and we had a good meal outside the distinguished house where, presumably, the governor lived. The meal was good and we when walked around the fort and had a delightful time visiting another fort off shore which could be reached at low tide. On our was back we stopped at the botanic gardens and had a look round. As the tide was low we returned to the mainland on foot through the extensive oyster beds. A great day out in good weather

Stunning place. Its a long walk down the path to it from the road, so might not be suitable for the elderley or people who struggle with mobility. The waterfalls are lovely, and its a nice place to stop for a picnic, and the children can play in the water (make sure they have water shoes, the stones are sharp!!)
