This stage will offer you breathtaking views of the Merveille, the Mont-Saint-Michel. Before Carolles-Plage, at the Pignon-Butor platform, you will enjoy a panorama going from Granville to Cancale. You will then cross the Lude valley and reach the port of Le Lude. This wild and dangerous cove was used as a clandestine port during the chouannerie and by smugglers. At the edge of the cliff, you will meet the Vauban hut, located on the site of a former guard house, a relay for surveillance and optical signals between Mont-Saint-Michel and Granville. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it housed customs officers on patrol along the coast. You will then arrive in Saint-Jean-le-Thomas.
