Thousands of sheep graze on the pastures around Mont Saint-Michel

The lambs raised in the salt marsh meadows of France, especially around Mont Saint-Michel, graze in pastures that are covered in halophyte grasses with a high salinity and iodine content, causing their meat to have a distinct taste that is considered a delicacy. In restaurants you find them on the menu as “agneau de pré-salé” (salt meadow lamb).
