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.

The Cabane Vauban was built in the 17th century and is named after the famous French fortification engineer Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, who was responsible for the design and reinforcement of numerous coastal fortifications during the reign of Louis XIV. The hut originally served as a shelter for sentries and customs officers monitoring the coast to detect smugglers or enemy ships early. While there are several similar observation points along the Normandy coast, the Cabane Vauban near Carolles is considered the most well-known and well-preserved.

Great running route with absolutely doable ups and downs. The view of Mont St. Michel makes time stand still.

As the road climbs past the small seaside town, the customs footpath continues along the cliffs, passing several historic lookouts built to secure the coastline.

Beautiful, old stone house with a view of Mont St-Michel

A classic but still enjoyable walk

Great view of Mont-Saint-Michel from here. And considering the house is so old and is always exposed to wind and rain, it looks great!

Descent and ascent, on the other hand.
