Vains

Vains straddles the landward edge of Mont-Saint-Michel Bay in Normandy, where tides, marshes and reclaimed polders have long shaped settlement and work. The village stands near the Sée estuary, one of the waterways feeding the bay, whose broad intertidal flats change dramatically between low and high water. At Vains-Saint-Léonard, the Écomusée de la Baie presents the human story of the bay, including traditional salt production and sheep grazing on saline pastures. Mont-Saint-Michel is the defining monument of this coastal setting, while Vains retains a rural, working-bay character.
