This beautiful abbey, known as the wonder of the Western World, was built on the summit of a tiny, rocky island, surrounded by the ocean, and it has been an important pilgrimage destination for centuries. After lunch at the 'Terrasses Poulard' take a guided tour of the magnificent abbey (entrance ticket included) and after, stroll around the history-filled medieval streets.
Welcome to the Abbey of Mont Saint Michel, a place of legends...
Rising from a hazy expanse of sand and waves, Mont Saint Michel appears like Man’s defiance of the elements and of time. A rock lost in a landscape smoothed by the wind.
Suspended high on the rock, the abbey calls you to discover the wild ambition of its builders and of those who, since 708, had wanted to make this isolated spot a meeting place for all people. From the top, everything looks surprising: the prodigies of medieval architecture, the strength of nature, the light...
No one can remain unmoved by the message of this place.
As a UNESCO world heritage site, the abbey of Mont Saint Michel is a monument for everyone.
