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.
