The Mont-Dol is located three kilometers from the city. This 65-meter granite rock has inspired many legends. Saint-Michel and the devil are said to have fought here. The claws and the seat of the devil, as well as the imprint of Saint-Michel, visible on the rock, bear witness to this legendary battle. The real spectacle here, however, is the view over the bay, from Cancale to Granville and Mont-Saint-Michel.

The siege and the claws of the devil
Scion diverse legends, the devil and Saint Michael opposed each other several times on the Mount of God. One day they came to blows: Satan was thrown against the rally with great violence - leaving the trace of his backside; while trying not to fall off the cliff, he scratched the rock deeply.
The fight of St. Michael symbolizes the victory of Christianity over the ancient cults.
