Le Couesnon à Beauvoir

The Couesnon is a small river which flows into the ocean at the level of Mont-Saint Michel. The Véloscénie runs along this river for a few kilometers before reaching the famous islet. This last stage of the cycle route offers magnificent views of the Mont-Saint-Michel abbey.

The town of Beauvoir is located on the southwest border of the department of Manche, 4 kilometers from Mont Saint Michel, 6 km north of Pontorson and 22 km southwest of Avranches. The commune, with an area of 1429 hectares, is bordered by 4 towns, both of which are part of the department of Ille-et-Vilaine. The town of Beauvoir is located on the right bank of the Couesnon, at the foot of Mont Saint-Michel. The relief is quite evident at the village level with a peak at "The Corcane" with a height of 43 metres. The lowest point, meanwhile, is in Polder with a height of 7 meters.

Beauvoir on the right bank of Couesnon offers a good opportunity for a final rest on the way to Mont-Saint-Michel. Also worth a detour is the village center around the small parish church.
