Ecomusee de la Baie du Mont Saint-Michel

About

DISCOVER THE BAY AND ITS ECO-MUSEUM A meeting with nature’s World Heritage For thousands of years, man has lived in and used the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay. This bay, with its extensive, continually changing landscape, holds an extraordinary biological richness. In its centre, three small rocks have emerged from its depths, dating from very ancient geological periods: the Mont, Tombelaine and Mont Dol. This unique area of land, in which bird, fish and marine mammal populations live with the strongest tides in the world, is listed as a “Major site in France” and has been classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. AN ECO-MUSEUM WHICH EXPLAINS MAN, NATURE AND LANDSCAPES Situated right on the edge of this vastness, the ‘Ecomusée de la Baie” is an interpretive centre where you discover the workings of the Bay’s natural environment, the way man has used this very special area for centuries, and the evolution of its landscapes through the ages.
