The small, picturesque chapel on the island is a landmark of the region and is visible from afar. It can be reached via a headland at low tide. There is more information and pictures about it in my travel documentary from 2018:

Hiking

Saint-Michel Beach in Erquy offers a wild setting overlooking an islet accessible at low tide. In just a few steps, you can reach its small perched chapel, surrounded by the sea. It's a popular spot for swimming, shore fishing, and seaside strolls.

Beach with a road/pier. At low tide, a string of pebbles that gives access on foot to the islet of Saint-Michel.
