The guide was amazing and witty. The 2 hour visit is splendid. The “pêcherie traditionnelle” allows you to have your feet in the water up to your knees and see crabs, rays, various fish, crabs, jelly fish. Etc…. We were never bored. You can stay on the train if mobility is an issue.

This review is based purely on the perspective of an English speaker who does not understand French. I understand that 99% of visitors are French.
The trip is remarkable and quite unique. The sight of the mussel farm is extraordinary. The only problem is that there was hardly a word of English. The commentary was none stop and I imagine it was really informative. I was so intrigued and in awe of what I was seeing I just wanted to know something about it. It was very frustrating. I had no idea at all what we were looking at. When I asked a couple of questions I got great answers, but I couldn't ask constantly. This is not too pick fault with the tour as we were told it was in French. I'm just letting none French speaker know what to expect.
I googled for information when I got home. Still a worthwhile visit I think, but would have been excellent with an explanation.

We took a trip on the horses instead of the bus. Kids liked it but it was way too warm. Still a good experience and cheap enough.

We booked the Train Marin not really knowing what to expect. We were the only non French speaking on board that afternoon, but never the less we understood or at least managed to get the gist of it all. Wow the mussel beds and ropes go out for miles the bay is so flat and the water just keeps receding. We spent more time out side of the train up to our calves in warm sea water looking at nets and mussel beds. Catching small fish, at the fish traps. A truly great 2 hour trip well worth the money spent

A great experience. Even though the commentary was in French, they had an English data sheet and it was fairly easy to get the drift of what they were talking about.

Glad to hear you had an enjoyable excursion. Do you actually get close to Mont St Michel? We were wondering before contacting the owners about the possibility of only going one way: from MSM to Cherrueix (at full fare of course).

NO you do not get near MSM the train goes straight out into the bay at Cherrueix
