This 18 km stage is the final part of the GR®223, leading to Mont Saint-Michel, the ultimate reward after all of these kilometres on foot. After the bridge over the river Sélune in Pontaubault, you’ll alternate between walking on the dikes and in the salt meadows. In Flagé, follow the road that goes behind the polders all the way to Roche Torin point. There’s a picnic area here with a fantastic view of Mont Saint-Michel and its spectacular bay. You need to go around the point then carry on walking in the salt meadows. Next, you’ll come to another picnic area at Le Rivage. Leaving the area behind you, take the dike that runs along Saint-Avit polder. The finish of the stage is at the footbridge in La Caserne. This is also where the shuttles to Mont Saint-Michel leave from. If you still have some energy left, you can also walk to Mont Saint-Michel, which is around 2 km from here: a last effort before you climb the steps of the famous Mont! Take the opportunity to visit the Abbey, stroll through the picturesque streets or try crossing the bay on foot. During the spring tides, you can watch as Mont Saint-Michel becomes an island again: a magical experience. Note: you’ll go through several gates on this section: please be sure to shut them again behind you.
