Itinerary
You will be immersed in the history of the Atlantic Wall thanks to the Pointe du Roc battery, built during the Second World War. During this historic visit, you will learn the reasons for this construction, its use but also its role on Granville. The explanations you will hear come from historical records or testimonies. The speech will therefore be supported by a visit to Bunkers with a museum to allow you to better understand the site. Finally, this visit will also allow you to see things that you probably would not have seen alone. This is also the role of the guide, to know the place perfectly.

About Mont-St-Michel
Mont-Saint-Michel is a rocky tidal island in a vast bay on the Normandy coast, crowned by a medieval abbey and ringed by ramparts and fast tides.
Mont-Saint-Michel rises from the sands of a wide bay at the mouth of the Couesnon river, on the border of Normandy and Brittany. According to tradition the first sanctuary was built here in 708, and over the centuries a Benedictine abbey grew up the rock in granite tiers, topped by a church and a spire. The island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
