    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.

    This was one of the most memorable experiences that we’ve had during our visit to France. The Abbey and it’s history is remarkable. We stayed overnight in the village and had a wonderful time. I highly recommend the audio tour - it was very easy to use!

    The guided tour was informative and enjoyable. The timing of ending just when mass was beginning provided the unexpected bonus of attending mass. Beautiful Abby. The Get your Guide.... depends on how many activities one plans to do to see if it's worthwhile for your group.

    This was an excellent way of avoiding the queues to enter what is certainly the highlight of Mont-Sant-Michel, the Abby. We walked straight in and picked up our audio guide and paper pamphlet about the site. We were a bit confused about entering Mont-Sant-Michel itself. For those driving, like we did, you park around 2.5km walk, or shuttle ride, to Mont-Sant-Michel. The lines to ride the shuttle were extremely long, so we walked which was lovely. There is a boardwalk most of the way there. And this eradicates the need to enter according to the tides, which we’d thought was maybe necessary! Once on Mont-Sant -Michel, it’s a steep walk up to the top, where the Abby is located. We had a wonderful time there. Magical.
