Transportation from Pontorson to Mont Saint Michel (France)

Hello, I'm traveling with my family by next month from Paris - Rennes (TGV), then Rennes - Pontorson MSM (SNCF) ETD 11:26, ETA 12:14pm.
Question, is there any available transportation form Pontorson-MSM and back to Pontorson before our train schedule will leave back to Paris? We need to know cause our train going back to Paris from Pontorson (SNCF) is at 6:14pm. We do have a little time. Please I need your help.
Thank you.

I found the bus schedule online. It alludes to dates in 2023, so I can only assume the information is accurate. I cannot vouch for the reliability of the buses, but the reference to the "SNCF schedule" suggests an effort is being made to coordinate the buses with the trains.

It appears you can pull this off but will have a short connection to the Paris-bound train.

Look under "Bus lines" on this web page and click on the link for the later of the two date ranges.

When my husband and I were in Paris in May we took the TVG to Rennes, then used the Keolis Bus service located next to the Rennes Train Station to go to Mont Saint Michel. The bus stopped right at the MSM tourist information center; then we took the free shuttle bus from there to MSM. After staying overnight at MSM we returned to Rennes on the Keolis bus. Loved their service and very convenient. Not sure if their schedule would work for you, but give them a try: www.keolis-armor.com Good luck and have fun!

@acraven, thank you for the info. I'm still trying to figure it out about our train schedule and the link you gave it to me. Thank you.

@LindaC, we do have a ticket (TVG) from Paris to Rennes and then (SNCF) Rennes to Pontorson (ETA 12:14pm) but we can't look for any available bus online from Pontorson to MSM and back, because we need to catch up our train at 6:4pm (same day) back to Paris.

By the way, have you seen taxis in Pontorson and in Mont Saint Michel area? Taxi or rent a car will be or next option.
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

Hi! Just curious -- what did you decide to do for transportation from Pontorson to MSM and then return? Bus? Taxi? Have a great trip!

hi, Pontorson to MSM transportation is still our main problem for now basing on our schedule. hopefully we can find taxi or any means of transportation back and forth so we can catch up our train going back to Paris via Pontorson on that same day.
