One of my favorite French scenes - sheep grazing on the salt-marshes near Mont Saint-Michel. A few sheep wouldn't have been a big deal, but as we neared the bay we passed this field where I estimated some 10,000 sheep were out grazing. What you see here is just one small frame from a 180-degree panoramic view.

As it turns out, these are pretty special sheep, known as agneau de pré-salé (salt meadow lamb). Their meat has a very distinctive flavor and tenderness, which we were able to sample at our dinner on the Mont.

"Hotel is in a gated section where many hotels are located with direct walking and shuttle access to Mont St Michel. You have to pay for the parking (but anyone who visits Mont St Michel has to pay for parking). A simple and very clean yet dated/worn hotel with basic amenities. Staff are warm and friendly. I slept great and was able to walk to the bridge that accesses Mont St Michel (about 30 minutes to the island itself). There are many dining options within a few minutes walk. "

"If you are going to the Mont Saint Michel, this is the perfect choice. In front of the bus stop to the abbey, this is simple but cozy choice."

"We used Granville as our hub to explore the Normandy area in France. We rented a car and stayed at Hotel des Bains for five nights. The room was clean and comfortable. We had our adult son along so we book the "Superior Family Room side sea view" which was excellent. Our son had his own area with a privacy curtain. Our balcony looked over the sea. We had a great stay."

"Very clean comfortable apartment in a wide open space opening out onto the pool. Great seating area on the balcony (Downstairs apartments had a good space outside their units). Apartment was well fitted out. A little far from the village but easy driving and parking. A good location to explore Mont St Michel."
