Thanks

yep, they filmed the video near Mount St Michel and the Castle is called the ” Château d’Ô”, near Argentan. Very nice place.

The EXACT location of Mont Saint-Michel is:
UTM: 30U 609677.94m E, 5388074.20m N
Lat/Long: 48º38’09.96”N, 1º30’40.56”W
Nearest town is Pontorson, that you can reach by train from Rennes (pretty uncomfortable train, Regional Express between Rennes-Avranches, by the way). Rennes has train (TGV) connections to Paris, as far as I remember. You can also reach it from Caen that is also connected to Paris.
There’s a public bus that takes you from the town to the island/mountain. As I guess you know, when the tide is high (enough), it’s an island (actually a peninsula because the entrance road is never covered), and when is low it’s a mount.
The sandy soil that you can see in the video is the intertidal area of river Couesnon estuary. This river is the natural border between Normandy and Bretagne. The Mont is in Normandy, because it’s on the eastern side of the river.
