Full description
Discover one of the world's first UNESCO World Heritage Sites with a visit to Mont-Saint-Michel abbey. Explore the site with a self-guided tour aided by an information booklet and learn the fascinating history of the site entirely at your own pace. The worship of Saint Michel was introduced on the holy mount in 708 and it became one of the most important places of medieval pilgrimage. Benedictine Monks began building an abbey here in the 10th century.   The abbey has withstood the assaults of man, time, and the elements. The heroic resistance of the mount to English attacks during the Hundred Years’ War (14th and 15th centuries) 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.

GetYourGuide traveler – SingaporeNovember 5, 2023 – Verified booking
Easy and hassle free access. Just scan the QR code on Get Your Guide app and we’re in! There are many steps to climb to the abbey and even road is often bumpy and not levelled. So anyone who is considered an elderly should be prepared and see if they can physically climb to the abbey at the top. If not, just walk around at the shops nearer the bottom and outside at the bridge - it’s already an extraordinary sight.

A beautiful place, if possible, it is worth participating in the midday service - a wonderful experience. Apart from that, nice people around. High frequency of free transport from the parking lot to the island. But in one direction, if you don't have too much mobility restrictions, you can walk this route. One caveat is the marking of places on the island. It is true that on the way from the parking lot it is possible to take a map in various languages, but the points on the map are not visible in reality on site, which is a pity - it would make getting around and visiting all the attractions on the island much easier. Moreover, the exit from the abbey is also poorly marked (instead of in front of the stairs, it stands inconspicuously to the side) and without a carrier, everyone goes back through the shop. Apart from these dangerous remarks, the rest is fantastic, I recommend it

A lot to see for little money. The abbey is definitely worth seeing and if you take the time, you can discover a lot. But even if you just stroll through, you will get a lasting impression and remember the amazing view from the mountain. Recommendation.
