"A Binocular located on the first part of the Pointe du Grouin, which will allow you to admire this Pointe, the Pierre-de-Herpin Lighthouse, and the Landes island.

Pointe du Grouin is the northernmost point of Cancale which offers an unprecedented view of the southern part of Mont Saint-Michel. In its extension is the Pierre-de-Herpin Lighthouse. This site on the Emerald Coast welcomes between 600,000 and one million visitors, the years of the Route du Rhum, the point of which is used to mark the starting line.

This rocky and wild point dominates the sea from 40 meters. The panorama stretches from Cap Fréhel to Granville, passing through the bay of Mont Saint-Michel, off the Chausey Islands. A path, the GR 34, allows you to go at low tide to explore a cave carved into the cliff.

The Landes island, which is opposite, constitutes an ornithological and botanical reserve."

"Un Binoculaire situé sur la première partie de la Pointe du Grouin, qui vous permettra d'admirer cette Pointe, le Phare de la Pierre-de-Herpin, et l'ile des Landes.

La pointe du Grouin est la pointe la plus au nord de Cancale qui offre une vue inédite sur la partie sud du Mont Saint-Michel. Dans son prolongement se trouve le Phare de la Pierre-de-Herpin. Ce site de la Côte d'Émeraude accueille entre 600 000 et un million de visiteurs, les années de Route du Rhum dont la pointe sert à tracer la ligne de départ.

Cette pointe rocheuse et sauvage domine la mer de 40 mètres. Le panorama s'étend du cap Fréhel à Granville en passant par la baie du Mont Saint-Michel, au large des îles Chausey. Un sentier, le GR 34, permet d'aller à marée basse explorer une grotte creusée dans la falaise.

L'île des Landes, qui est en face, constitue une réserve ornithologique et botanique."
