A bridge with a long history! Even the Romans passed along here! And at the end of World War II, American troops passed through here to liberate France. Today, people make pilgrimages past the bridge on their way to Mont St. Michel.

Visit very early in the morning or very late in the evening. Heavy thunderstorms or hailstorms might help. Otherwise, unfortunately, you'll just be pushed through.

You feel like you are at a fair

Fantastic views from everywhere

The Grande Rue is the "main street" through the village at the foot of the abbey church

The “Pont de Pontaubault” is a beautiful work of art, the construction of which dates back to the 15th century. It is the first bridge to cross the Sélune, between Saint-Quentin-sur-le-Homme (right bank) and Pontaubault (left bank). It is located on the old road from Avranches to Rennes, via Saint-James. Since the arrival of the A84 motorway it has mainly been used locally. The bridge has eleven arches and is built with stone masonry. There is a picnic area at the bridge, near the railway viaduct of the Caen-Rennes line, not far from the salt meadows where sheep graze. During big tides many spectators and kayakers come to enjoy the spectacle provided by the tide. The bridge has a rich history. It was bombed several times during World War II but withstood these attacks, allowing 100,000 men and 1,500 vehicles to cross. A memorial plaque recalls that "the fate of the war lay on this bridge".

Friendly cafe at the entrance of the city next to the bridge

Continuing along the path, always with a view of the abbey, we change levels through a very narrow alley that we can just fit through and get back to the main path. Refreshed by a really good soft ice cream, we continue our exploration. https://youtu.be/mKn4cfCZ1OE
