Your guide
Ludovic Coulon
Independent guide, born in Avranches on 20 February 1990
Introduced to the bay at a very young age by my father, and passionate about the marine environment, fishing and ornithology, I was fortunate to learn from an exceptional setting. This invaluable heritage has allowed me to turn my knowledge and passion into my profession.
I hold the official certificate of competence for Mont-Saint-Michel Bay guides, issued by the French authorities. I guide with a youthful and dynamic approach, offering unique sensations and unforgettable memories.
For your safety, clear instructions are given at the starting point, informing you about the natural obstacles and potential difficulties you may encounter during the crossing (water levels, currents, mudflats, quicksands, etc.).
My approach
All my excursions are guided, narrated and brought to life.
With a smile, I guide you along different routes and tour options, tailored to your interests – all within one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
I aim to work with small groups (1 to 35 participants) to preserve a sense of intimacy and friendliness during the crossings
(the local authorities do allow up to 60 participants per guide).
Throughout the excursion, we take the time to admire this exceptional natural site, and I share its richness and hidden secrets with you.

Over 1,300 years of history
Bay crossings follow in the footsteps of the “Miquelots”, the iconic pilgrims of Saint Michael, founders of the bay’s rich human history.
A minimalist immersion
Walking barefoot across the tangue — a unique sandy-mud sediment, sometimes firm, soft, dry or slippery. The bay’s ground is famous for its legendary quicksands, offering unique sensations with surprising benefits.
