LES CHEMINS DU MONT SAINT-MICHEL The Chemins du Mont Saint-Michel Association was created in 1998, with the aim of rediscovering the medieval pilgrimage routes which brought pilgrims from throughout Europe to the Mont Saint-Michel and to make them usable once again. The itineraries are signposted with a logo depicting the Mont and a scallop shell. These routes pass through the villages of Saint-Germain-sur-Ay, Lessay, Créances, Pirou and Geffosses.
