About this audio guide
This guide to the Plage du Bec d'Andaine, on the Mont-Saint-Michel bay near Genêts, looks away from the famous abbey and toward the green salt marsh behind the dunes. It follows François Cerbonney, a shepherd whose flock grazes that marsh, and the salt-meadow lamb Normandy prizes for its tang. Best heard facing inland, with the herbus in front of you.
