The dam on the Couesnon

Highlight • Other

This is a tidal dam that prevents sea water from flowing into the river. There is also a bridge into the polder areas.

View of Mont Saint-Michel

Highlight • Viewpoint

At this place the view of Mont-Saint-Michel is majestic. We can see the new footbridge connecting the Mont to the shore, with the comings and goings of the shuttles. I recommend making a small detour of a few hundred meters to Ardevon. The view of the Mount is then unusual; one has the impression that it is built in the village.

L'herbu de Courtils

Highlight • Other

From the car park, beautiful view of the grass and Mont Saint Michel. With a little luck you will see some salt meadow sheep there.

Ardevon Priory

Highlight • Other

The Priory of Mont-Saint-Michel, located in Ardevon, 5 km from the Mont, is a built ensemble from the 13th century, which belonged to the Abbey until the French Revolution. It was the agricultural domain of the Abbey, and a place of rest and earthly retreat for the monks and the Abbot. Pilgrims also stayed there for their last stop before the sanctuary.
Adjoining the village church, the priory offers several old buildings:
- The main body devoted to the accommodation of pilgrims and visitors to the Mount, with a reception area, a refectory and a conference room.
- The tithe barn which has been restored to make it a meeting room
- The dovecote which has become a small oratory.
The whole, classified as a Historic Monument, offers the town of Ardevon a harmonious architectural silhouette.
