The rocky finger of the Pointe du Grouin points out and protects the entrance into the bay of Mont Saint-Michel.
On this headland, a Grande Randonnée footpath runs around hugging the cliff face and there is a circular walk starting out from Cancale.
On their way, walkers can see the ÃÂle des Landes, a long barren outcrop (now a bird sanctuary), the lighthouse, the ÃÂles Chausey, Granville on the Normandy coast, and, on a clear day, the outline of Mont Saint-Michel.
