Loading photosAbout Mont-Saint-Michel
Mont-Saint-Michel is a tidal island and mainland commune in Normandy. Perched on a rocky islet in the middle of a vast bay, it is crowned by a magnificent medieval Benedictine abbey. The bay experiences some of Europe's most dramatic and powerful tides, transforming the mount from a peninsula to a complete island.
💡Why Visit?
Walk the narrow medieval cobblestone streets of the ramparts up to the spectacular Gothic abbey perched high above the bay.
