We stopped for one night. Angled parking for vehicles under 6 m, shaded, which is a nice bonus. Quiet, with no services.
Avoid! This parking area is not suitable for motorhomes and vans. If you follow the road and parking regulations, you protrude into the lane and occupy the entire car park, leaving no room for other users. Please choose one of these two places one minute away: 8 route des Moires, 50300 Vains, or the Cara-Meuh farm; it is much better.
A dog barked all night. Someone moved to Genêts at 2 a.m. -_-
Quiet parking. The ecomuseum is very interesting, with beautiful views over the bay and Mont Saint-Michel.
We stopped here to go to Pointe du Grouin via the coastal customs path (right in front of the ecomuseum), then had lunch.
Very quiet place with a magnificent view of Mont Saint-Michel less than a 3-minute walk away. Nevertheless, we were woken at 7:30 a.m. by a car passing and honking (a neighbour?). There were two vehicles sleeping here.
Very quiet parking area. On 27 September, there were two of us. Good spot for a beautiful view of Mont Saint-Michel, with a short 15-minute hike to the southern Grouin.
Very good spot sheltered from the wind and under the trees, just a few steps from an extraordinary view of the bay and Mont Saint-Michel. Quiet night.
This place is not suitable for a rooftop tent because of the direct view from a nearby house.
Small, quiet parking area near the Mont Saint-Michel Bay ecomuseum. No amenities, but perfect for one night with a view of Mont Saint-Michel.
Very quiet and shaded parking area. There were only four of us last night. Thanks to the ecomuseum for allowing us to park here.
Shaded, not many spaces, but useful in a pinch, with a view of the bay after a short walk.
Very good spot just a few steps from an extraordinary view of Mont Saint-Michel. Very quiet.
Very interesting museum. A small, well-shaded picnic area next to the museum. Parking 15 minutes on foot from Pointe du Grouin du Sud, overlooking the magnificent Mont Saint-Michel Bay. Lovely walk. Thanks to the museum and the municipality for letting us use this parking area free of charge.
Even beside the road, it is very quiet, and it is wonderful to hear the cuckoo singing.
