Mont St Michel's
causeway
is only accessible on foot or by using official
transport (navettes) from 30th April. This move is to help
remove a build up of silt in the Bay of Mont St Michel and
return it to its original form. Eventually even the
causeway will be replaced by a bridge. All this is very
attractive to look at and necessary regarding the silt built up
however be prepared to park further away than in the past.
