Saint-Michel-en-Grève (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ miʃɛl ɑ̃ ɡʁɛv]; Breton: Lokmikael-an-Traezh) is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department of Brittany in northwestern France.
In 2009 huge quantities of sea lettuce seaweed ( Ulva lactuca) washed up on the beach at Saint Michel. Poisonous gases resulting from its decomposition caused the death of a horse [3] and may have been a factor in the earlier death of a cleanup crew truck driver. [4]
