The Sélune, 84 km long, ends its journey in the English Channel. It is one of the few rivers where migrating salmon come up the river from the sea to complete their life cycle.

This polisher, dating from around 4,000 BC, is a quartz block of modest size, 1.25 m by 0.50 m, barely level with the grass. On its surface, there are a dozen parallel grooves and a basin. The bowl was used to polish flints and the grooves to sharpen the edges of axes. Excavations have uncovered polished axes, one of which is jade. The place is also called "Pierre de Saint-Benoît". Because according to one of the legends attached to this monument, it would be Saint Benedict petrified: the pink veins that run through the block would be the veins of the saint and the grooves his ribs. The water in the basin is said to have curative and febrifuge properties: feverish people came on pilgrimage, sprinkled themselves with this water and placed offerings in the grooves, hoping for the cure of their ailments. It is reached by a little busy and very pleasant little road.

As its name indicates, this small village is perched on a hillock at an altitude of 168m, which allows you to enjoy one of the first views of Mont Saint Michel, located a good twenty km away. The origin of the village's name comes from the time when pilgrims going to Mont Saint-Michel exclaimed “Mont Joie!” » seeing the Mount in the distance. The inhabitants thus have the chance to be "Montjoyeux"... The best viewpoint is marked by a marker and is located just behind the church.

Good rest stop for a break before continuing steeply uphill towards Pontorson!
