How do you think this could be achieved?'
The area around Mont St Michel is in the middle of a major project costing millions of Euros which will restore the environment of the bay to its original condition. This will involve:
- The construction of a dam over the River Couesnon that will flush water into the bay and remove THE sand and gravel which is accumulating.
- Building a new car park and visitor centre on the MAINLAND (continent) Could all weblinks highlighted on this page open the new page up in a new tab or window so that users can jump back and fore.
- Removing the causeway on which the current car park stands
- Building a pedestrian footbridge that can carry shuttle buses to allow access to the Mont St Michel
