The Mont St Michel Tourist Office website has a tide calculator.

Just one clarification when a date is not mentioned means that the tide is not visible ?

For example we will be there on March 27 but this date is not mentioned in the table.

The tide is the movement of the water, do you mean will the sea be visible?? the Sea can be seen from Le Mont St Michel quite easily, but no, it is not always 'in' around the island.

Hello Takisf

Your supposition is correct. The note at the bottom says:

ON THIS CALENDAR, YOU CAN READ THE TIDES’ SCHEDULE,

ONLY WHEN THE WATER REACH MONT SAINT-MICHEL. WHEN NOTHING IS WRITTEN, YOU DO NOT SEE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LOW TIDES AND HIGH TIDES.

I have had a look at the French version; the above is a bad translation meaning that the table only shows days when the water reaches the mount; on days not mentioned, the island is not cut off by the high tide.

I hope that helps. :)
