A recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Mont Saint Michel Bay is also one of the most beautiful bays in France, in addition to being a Special Protection Zone. The Mont Saint Michel Bay France also doubles up as an intertidal zone, which means that when it clears up after the tides recede, the bay becomes a natural reserve for different species of birds, including osprey, avocet and more. In addition to more than 130 different species of birds that you can catch sights of here, you can also find a number of migratory birds, such as wigeon and bean goose, in the bay.
Ranked amongst the most spectacular attractions and sights in all of France, the Mont Saint Michel Bay is also shared by Normandy and Brittany, and becomes filled with water during high tides or spring tides, thereby turning Mont Saint Michel into an island. The tidal range of this bay can go up to 14 metres on some days, thereby transforming it into a place with exceptional biodiversity. Besides the many birds, you can also find a wide array of fish species in the bay, including seals and dolphins.
