Along the Sentier des Douaniers.
From the starting point you walk on a beach path next to the bay of Le Verger. You follow the coastal path along the GR34 and arrive at the Pointe De La Moulière where you already have a first beautiful view. Furthermore, you walk along the beach of Saussaye and the Pointe De La Roche Froide. In the distance you can already see the building of the sea rescue service at the Pointe du Grouin. The view from the Pointe du Grouin on the bay of Mont Saint-Michel is really beautiful. The île des Landes is a bird sanctuary that houses the largest colony of cormorants in Brittany. You continue along the coastal path and pass the beach at Port Mer. At Port Picain you leave the coastal path and walk back inland to the nature reserve Le Verger. Here you take a little detour past Verger's chapel before reaching the starting point.
