Mont Saint-Michel

On the coast of Mont Saint-Michel the "moutons de pré-salé" (salt meadow lambs) are bred.

An excerpt from the article 22 facts about Mont Saint-Michel

This breeding was initiated by Duchess Anne of Brittany, who ordered the land to be cleaned up and prepared for cultivation and breeding. The animals bred there provide meat of exceptional taste (brackish pastures).

There is also a rich manure - tangue - made from the material carried by the rivers, mixed with the crushed shells carried by the tides.
