    The Route du Grouin du Sud, also known as the "Customs Officer's Path," is a 10- to 11.5-kilometer-long coastal hike near Genêts and Vains. It leads through the impressive bay of Mont Saint-Michel and offers beautiful views of the sea, Mont Saint-Michel, and the Tombelaine rock along long stretches. The route is mostly circular and takes between two and a half and three and a half hours, depending on your pace. It runs through meadows, coastal paths, and small country roads. It is unpaved in places, so sturdy footwear is recommended. A cultural highlight is the Prieuré Saint-Léonard with its historic chapel. The "Grouin du Sud" headland is particularly worth seeing; on a clear day, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire bay.
