Considered the “Western Marvel”, the Mont Saint-Michel is nestled in the middle of an exceptional site, surrounded by the moving sands and the tides that run in at the speed of a galloping horse. The medieval village built upon the island is crowned by a beautiful fortified Abbey dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel. The whole site is classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage site and it hasn’t changed much since the Middle Ages.

Benedictine monks started building an Abbey here in the 10th century. The heroic resistance of the Mount to English attacks during the Hundred Years’ War made it a symbol of French national identity. Monks left the Abbey in 1790, and it was listed as a historic monument in 1874. The whole site has been returned to its former glory thanks to ongoing restoration work. You will discover the cloister, the gardens and a breathtaking view of the bay.

Hacía más de 20 años que queríamos visitar la Abadía. Con el carrito de niño no pudimos subir mucho, y ahora hemos hecho el recorrido completo. ¡Fabuloso!

La nostra esperienza è stata più che positiva

Site exceptionnel La possibilité d’obtenir une tablette pour la visite aurait été un plus.

Impresionante, por fuera y el Interior de la Abadía. Lo único la calle Mayor, demasiado comercial con muchas tiendas, restaurantes, que le quitaban un cierto encanto.
