Taken from one of the highest points of the village, the image embraces the entire landscape of Mont Saint-Michel bay. In the foreground, the characteristic slate roofs of medieval houses and the vegetation clinging to the rock. The bay extends towards the horizon with its sandy expanses shaped by the tides, creating natural patterns that change every day. White clouds dot the sky creating a play of light and shadow on the bay surface. This privileged perspective allows appreciation of the geographical uniqueness of Mont Saint-Michel, a place where land, sea and sky merge into a landscape of rare beauty.
