Moulin de la Saline in Cherrueix. Facing the beach and the sea, along the dike you can see three windmills of the 19th century.

You can also visit the breeding parks of mussel mussels (piles on which they are rolled) now recognized by an AOC and that can be enjoyed from June to January and the succulent flat and hollow oysters that can be eaten all the year (milky or not depending on tastes). With the little yellow train, you can also visit the wooden fisheries that have existed in Cherrueix since the twelfth century, a kind of trap that can catch fish and crustaceans at rising tide.
There are many other discoveries to be made for nature lovers and ancient times such as windmills of the 18th, the bench of Hermelles, coral reef unique in Europe that one discovers during the high tides.

What better way to enjoy the 110 kilometers of coastline of Upper Brittany, from the clear waters of the Emerald Coast to the vast expanses of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. While you are fond of sandcastles, sporting afternoons or reading fan-feet,
have a good stay
