    Hiking

    Perched high above the coast of Saint-Jean-le-Thomas, with breathtaking views of the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel, stands the Cabane Vauban – a silent witness to a bygone era.
    This small stone hut dates back to the 17th century and was built during the reign of the great fortress builder Vauban. It once served as a watchtower, monitoring the coast and controlling smuggling.
