We saw the barrage when we first visited Mont St Michel, back when it was part of the plan to restore the waterfront and walkway and much of the work was still under construction along the walkway. What a wonderful way to restore the approach to the Mont and re-establish its maritime character. Cool heritage spot . Awesome there were no crowds during this time of the year. Pay for parking hop on the "free shuttle" From here you have a beautiful view of Mount Saint Michel, both at sunrise and sunset (any time of the day in fact). It is designed for people to sit here and contemplate the Mount. It was built from June 2006 to June 2009. Designed by architect Luc Weizmann, it was put into service in September 2009. Lovely place to visit...we were there at 6am to try get the sunrise behind the castle...Sun came up in front of the castle but we still has a great array of colours on our walk from the car park.. We had to walk cause the busses don't alow dogs on ...couldn't get into the place as there was works going on ...Will visit again next time.. Make sure u visit either early morning or sunset for a picturesque view .. Best place to capture the moment of stunning M’ont Saint Michel. Any time you go you will be amazed with the natural beauty. Don’t be surprised if you see group of photographers taking the full advantage of this spot Nice place to sit in the sun and view Mont Saint Michel. You get a great view with the surrounding area. The history behind the barrage and its purpose for the future of Saint Michel is interesting. The barge is a great location to shoot Mon San Michel with the water way central. If you want long exposure night shots shoot full frame at circa 100mm and stand on the raised section of the barrier at the back and shoot over the lower walkway. The lower section picks up every vibration and ruins shots even on a strong tripod. I managed to shoot at 3 minutes at 100mm from the back but barely managed a second at the front. Perfect at dawn for misty morning photos, with just the bird calls for company. I enjoyed this view more than the visit to the Mont, which was too touristy but the free shuttle bus is worth a quick go.
