The men, the nature and the landscape of the Bay

Discover and understand …

Over more than 400 m2, an exhibition on man, nature and the landscape of the Bay helps you to discover the different environments – the sea, the earth, the air and their "occupants". Take the time to understand the formation of the Bay and the action of man on the landscape. Follow a large painting which will allow you to follow the life of several animals « actors » at the end of the seasons. Decipher this avid eco-system which is complex, yet fragile. The fishing which is still practiced in the Bay and the fabrication of " ignifère" salt disappeared in the mid XIX century, are highlighted for their value. These different areas are illustrated by films, moulds, interactive posts and a "saunier" workshop which are open to all.

"Fishing and fishermen in the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel, photos by François Levalet"

Covering more than 500 km², the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel is an immense mosaic of natural environments. Here the rivers wander through salt meadows and sandbanks regularly covered by the highest tides in Europe. A veritable nursery for dozens of species of fish, the Bay has always been a huge larder for mankind. Thanks to his aerial kite photographs, François Levalet takes us on a journey of discovery of these fishermen and their techniques.
