The Vauban hut
The Vauban hut, an 18th century guard house, is located at the top of the Carolles cliffs and offers an exceptional view of the bay of
Mont Saint Michel, from
Granville to the tip of Cancale. This modest shale and granite construction was once used as a shelter for customs officers patrolling along the coast along the coastal path still known as the "customs officers' path".
