ジュネッツのおすすめツーリングルート

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.

Its origins date back to the 6th century, when the future Saint Leonard worked in the region. In 1087, William the Conqueror granted the fief of Vains to the Abbey of Saint-Étienne in Caen, which subsequently founded the priory. The building dates back to the 11th century and has been restored several times over the centuries. Today, the priory serves as a holiday accommodation.

The Grouin du Sud is a natural headland offering impressive views of the bay and the famous Klosterberg. Depending on the tide, the landscape alternates between vast mudflats and ocean views, making the place particularly charming.

Beautiful village with an equally beautiful church. Really worth walking through.

Beautiful place. Because of the perfect view of Mont St Michel. You can see the rock beautifully in the middle of the water.

Chapel is open to the public. The entrance is on the north side.

Good picnic spot with a beautiful view of Mount Saint Michel

A short loop around the peninsula south of Saint-Léonard grazed by the traditional sheep offers access to the marshes with options to walk at low tide across to Mont Saint Michel.
