PhotographeWhat other place in the world can offer such a setting for shellfish? The Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel is the leading shellfish production basin in France. Europe’s leading basin for flat oysters. Everywhere, life flourishes naturally to the rhythm of the tides. Every year, around 10,000 tonnes of AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée) certified moules de bouchot are harvested. This mollusc is one of the foods richest in iron, calcium, zinc and selenium. So, after your long walk, regain your strength by cooking them in a thousand ways: marinated or in cream, au gratin, en papillote or a la plancha… A moment of pure pleasure to share with friends or family.
This man-made treasure bears a Flemish name because it is the work of a Belgian engineer: Mosselmann. To give you access to this unusual and bucolic landscape in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, we have created trails that respect biodiversity. With no sound other than the birdsong, discover the fascinating history of the area on foot or by bike, and enjoy the many remarkable views of Mont Saint-Michel. The village of Les 4 Salines is a good place to start, with the Maison des Polders to satisfy your curiosity about local activities and riches. This listed intangible heritage site is home to a rich and responsible agriculture, made by women and men who fight for their land and their know-how.

Lamb de Prés-Salés has a distinctive taste and texture because it is reared to the rhythm of the tides in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. The ewes and their young graze in meadows that are regularly covered by the sea, hence the name ‘salt meadows’. In these meadows grow plants that can withstand the salt, providing a unique and original meal for the herbivores.
