The bay of Sant-Mikael mount

(Automatic translation...)

The Bay is classified by UNESCO since 1979 a world heritage site. The image and reputation world's Bay are strongly linked to the quality of landscapes form the backdrop of Mont Saint-Michel.

Pictured a landscape typical of the bay with herbus and sheep pre-salted.

Some information about sheep ranching in the Bay: info from the site http://www.baie-mont-saint-michel.fr
Taste end if famous lambs pre-salted has the herbu strikes where grazing sheep grazing in full freedom vegetation consisting of fragrant plants halophiles (especially puccinellie and red fescue), which, moreover, contribute to the Fixing sediments.
In the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, grazing herbus is a very old practice and documents attest that the eleventh century, the monks of the abbey had a right to brebiage allowing them to choose the best of each ewe exploitation.
We can not talk about real race for sheep of the bay. There is actually a sheep population and local typée named "Grévine." It is derived from crosses poorly determined local animal breeds and English.
