One of my favorite French scenes - sheep grazing on the salt-marshes near Mont Saint-Michel. A few sheep wouldn't have been a big deal, but as we neared the bay we passed this field where I estimated some 10,000 sheep were out grazing. What you see here is just one small frame from a 180-degree panoramic view.

As it turns out, these are pretty special sheep, known as agneau de pré-salé (salt meadow lamb). Their meat has a very distinctive flavor and tenderness, which we were able to sample at our dinner on the Mont.

"Wow"

"The "apart-hotel" is very basic but clean, okay for a one night stay if you are visiting Mont Saint Michel. It's around 8-10 km from any restaurants, groceries etc. Check-in time is limited to 5-7 pm and the pool closed at 7pm. We had to make our own beds like a hostel. Overall, clean and basic accommodations, suitable for one or two nights. "

Hotel le Mouton Blanc

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our two night stay in Sept 2025. "

Le Relais Saint Michel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a perfect place to stay for your visit to Mont St Michel. It is the closest hotel to Mont St Michel (about a mile walk) not on the island. Some of it's room and it's restaurant has views of Mont St Michel. Our room was updated and comfortable. It was great to eat breakfast each morning with the view and easy to walk or pick up the shuttle to take us to the island"

Mercure Mont Saint Michel

10/10 Excellent

"Very close to the mont st. Michel. Easy walk from hotel to the mont. it takes a special code to access the hotel zone by car. We did not receive the code beforehand and had to call, but perhaps the miscommunication was due to booking through Expedia site. Not a big deal but my wife had a borderline breakdown because of it. Doesn’t take much for that tho…"
