The island is only linked to the mainland by a narrow, yet picturesque causeway built in 1880 and a bridge that was only completed in 2012.

Fontaine Laveuses de Huitres et Église St-Méen.jpg

4. See the Fontaine Laveuses de Huitres et Église St-Méen

The Fontaine Laveuses de Huitres translates to ‘the fountain of washing oysters’, and it is based at the Église St-Méen in Cancale. The church was built in 1875 when the previous church became too small, yet it wasn’t fully complete until 1886. On the church square is the fountain with a sculpture created by bronze artist, Jean Fréour showing two washer oysters. The sculpture symbolizes the work of the people of Cancale during the early twentieth century before mechanization and is a great place for a photo-opportunity.

Just Hiker - not best quality.jpg

On either side of the Pointe is a coastal path and the southerly facing path leads you to an array of coves with small ports tucked inside. Each port is sheltered, creating beautiful places to sit and enjoy the view of the Bay of Mont-St-Michel. The coastal path westerly leads past a line of sandy bays and rocks, all with glorious views of the stunning French channel.

It is a granite tower type mill, and like the other mills in Cherrueix, has been listed a protected building since 1977. The Moulin de la Saline translates to the ‘Mill of salt’ and is named so due to its past as it was formerly the seat of an establishment dedicated to the production of salt.

The Rochers Sculptes are a truly remarkable piece of art that are hidden at a little-known cliff in Rothéneuf, a city just north of St Malo. There are over 300 sculptures that were all chiseled into the rocks there by a deaf, mute and partially paralyzed priest, Adolphe Julien Fouré in the late 1800s. Fouré lived in Rothéneuf as a hermit and completed his sculptures using only a hammer and chisel. It is worth noting that there are no handrails or stairs there so make sure you are wearing proper footwear to explore the works of art.
