    From Brittany or from Mont-Saint-Michel

    To reach the « Tours route » the pilgrims can also start from some less traditional points. The Mont-Saint-Michel and 4 other starting points in Brittany could fulfil the expectation of many pilgrims thanks to the beauty of their scenic ways and the richness of their heritage and their history...
