Description
The Pointe du Grouin is the most advanced rocky promontory of Ille et Vilaine. This wild headland reaches 40 meters above the sea and offers breathtaking views. From here, you can see the Normandy coastline and the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. Looking towards the horizon, you can see Mont-Saint-Michel, 25 kilometers away, and the Chausey islands. Much closer is l’île des Landes. This elongated island is a biological reserve that hosts the largest colony of seabirds in Brittany. Landes Island is located immediately to the east of Pointe du Grouin.
Among the birds you can observe are sula biela, kormorán chochlatý, čajka morská, sokol sťahovavý, lastúrničiar strakatý, kazarka pestrá, ľabtuška skalná, stehlík konôpka and pŕhľaviar čiernohlavý.

Le regard dressé vers l’horizon, on distingue alors deux merveilles : à 25 kilomètres le Mont-Saint-Michel et plus au large les îles Chausey.
