The barrage at the mouth of the river Couesnon flows at high tide seawater in the lower river, which can then be discharged at low tide. This additional artificial flow event is to flush out the silting bay in the next few years and restore the island character of the Mont Saint Michel. The technical structure is also designed as a viewing platform with a beautiful view of the monastery mountain. projetmontsaintmichel.fr

The Barrage is not only a technical building, but, in the words of the architect Luc Weizman, an "ouvrage d'art", a work of art. This is what the design of the northern end of the platform stands for, for example. It is a bronze railing overlooking the Mont Saint-Michel, which is modeled after a lectern. On the desk are engraved alphabets in Hebrew, Greek, Arabic and Latin script as well as symbols to illustrate the basics of European history.
