  Couesnon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Couesnon River (/kwenɔ̃/) is a short (90 km, 56 mile long) river running from the département of Mayenne in north-western France, forming an estuary at Mont Saint-Michel.
The mouth of the Couesnon, at Mont Saint-Michel.
In the 20th century, the Couesnon was turned into a canal, to reduce the erosion of its banks.

 Couesnon
Couesnon was "estabished" in 1882 when Amedee Auguste Couesnon, the son-in-law of P.L. Guatrot, took over the directorship of Guatrot-Durand et Cie (read "Guatrot-Durand and company").
Couesnon was "reformed" in 1931, as Couesnon S.A. (read: "Couesnon, Incorporated") with the inclusion of L'Association Generale des Ouvriers, Feuillet, Guichard, Lecomte, I. Lot, Massin and Thibouville, Triebert, Marquet, and "several others".
Again, after Couesnon was reformed in 1931, there was a slight gap in sax manufacture (it may be that I just haven't seen any horns from about 1931 to 1940).

 Mont Saint-Michel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Mont Saint-Michel (English: Mount Saint Michael) is a small rocky tidal island in Normandy, roughly one kilometre from the north coast of France at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches, close to the border of Brittany, which has led to Breton claims to the mount.
The Couesnon River has been canalised, reducing the flow of water and thereby encouraging a silting-up of the bay.
Bretons claim that, since the Couesnon River marks the traditional boundary between Normandy and Brittany, it is only because the river has altered its course over the centuries that the mount is on the Norman side of the frontier.
