Normandy from our cottages
Mont-Saint-Michel, the bay and its spring tides, the coast and neighbouring Brittany
Our region
Our five holiday cottages are in Vessey, in the Manche department of Normandy: 10 minutes from Mont-Saint-Michel, 15 minutes from the first beaches of the bay and 40 minutes from Saint-Malo. Here is what the region offers from your gîte, as day trips and without a motorway.
Mont-Saint-Michel, 10 minutes away
Our cottages are a 10-minute drive from the Mont-Saint-Michel car parks, a few kilometres from the Couesnon river that marks the border with Brittany. Visit the Mont early in the morning or late in the day, before and after the coaches: the neighbours’ privilege.
The bay and its spring tides
Mont-Saint-Michel bay has the largest tides in continental Europe: at coefficients of 100 and above, the sea covers several kilometres in a few hours and surrounds the Mont. We publish the upcoming dates from the official forecasts.
Beaches and the Normandy coast
The first beaches of the bay, Genêts and the Bec d’Andaine, are 15 minutes from our cottages. Granville, its upper town, harbour and beaches are 45 minutes away, with boats to the Chausey islands.
Neighbouring Brittany
Saint-Malo and Cancale are 40 minutes away, Fougères 40 minutes, Dinan 55 minutes: from our cottages, Normandy and Brittany fit into the same day.
