Ep 1: Mont-Saint-Michel: The Bay of Wonders
A religious building, then a bastion of defense, and today a UNESCO site visited by the whole world, the Mont Saint-Michel is a true standard of our heritage. For 1300 years, the great history of this mythical place has been mixed with a more confidential history, that of the Bay’s wildlife. From the top of the Statue of the Archangel to the sand dunes, crossing the immense salt meadows, the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay is a real hotspot of biodiversity punctuated by the tides.
Reckless gulls, lazy sea-calves, courageous sheep and playful dolphins, chattering colonies of egrets on the island of Tombelaine, whispering ballet of starlings, short-eared owls on the schorres, nurseries of fish and crustaceans on the foreshore, upwelling of salmon and eels, spectacle of orthopterans on the cliffs of Carolles-Champeaux... Through the eyes of its feathered, furry and scaly inhabitants, this wildlife sanctuary reveals its fragility and undeniable richness.
