='''What to visit in the Region'''=

Lower-Normandy is a very beautiful region, one of the most beautiful part of France when it's sunny.

Depending on what you want to visit, the Lower Normandy offers to tourists lost of marvelous sights to visit :

== Mont Saint Michel ==

[[File:mtstmichel.jpg|400px|center|]]

[[File:mtstmichel2.jpg|400px|center|]]

Obviously, the most famous sight of Lower Normandy is ''Le Mont Saint-Michel'':

There are different ways to enjoy the Mont Saint Michel, the first one is obviously to visit the village on the rock. It's free except the parking fee if you come by car. Try to visit the Mont during the night. You'll get the privilege to own it practically for yourself. It's really worth it.

If you are courageous, you can climb all the stairs to reach the "Merveille", this is the nickname of the abbey build at the top. To visit this part of the mont you have to pay. Different option for the visit are available. (all the details here : [http://mont-saint-michel.monuments-nationaux.fr/en/bdd/page/visites]).

The best period to get there is during the mid season otherwise it's so crowded during summer or the time may be awful during winter. To visit the Mont plan to spend half a day.

An original way to enjoy the Mont Saint Michel is to cross the bay by foot. This walk allow you to enjoy the landscape with lot of birds, sandbanks, sea and even if you are very lucky observe some seals. This walk lenght is around 6km one way and need two hours and half.
Be careful, because of the tides and the drifts (the gap between lowest tides and highest can reach up to 13 meters, and the drift up to 10km/h) you should not go by yourself. Guides drive you across the bay. the start of the walk is located at Genêts [http://www.decouvertebaie.com]

Finally if you have more time, you can use a path that follows the seaside. The path is marked all its way long. If you follow the GR223 [http://www.gr-infos.com/gr223.htm] in its all, it will bring from Mont Saint Michel to Honfleur.

how to get there :

- By public transport : reach the station of Pontorson from Rennes or Caen (Rennes-Caen line timetable[http://www.ter-sncf.com/Images/Caen-Rennes_tcm24-21611.pdf]) and after catch the bus that leads you to the Mont (timetable[http://www.mobi50.com/ftp/FR_lignes/Ligne%206_ok.pdf])
