Description
The abbey built on a mysterious island in the thirteenth century continues to fascinate. The thousand-year-old history of this granite rock which resisted in times of defeat, in the face of the English and Protestant threat, reveals its secrets in this guided tour.
What did the Benedictines do there ? Why is this the only vertical monastery ? What are the architectural styles from the 9th century chapel to the “Merveille”, the name of the Abbey ? It is possible to listen to the nuns sing mass if you feel like it.
By booking in advance, you may be lucky enough to find a hotel room on the island, otherwise hotels with a view of Mont Saint-Michel are also good options.
Contact us to first validate the hotel night, because we do not offer this excursion on a single day like other agencies, you should know that it is a 3h45 drive from Paris ! It is also possible to sleep in the medieval town of Bayeux, which makes it easy to visit the D-Day beaches the next day.
If for the following day you prefer to visit deep Normandy with its half-timbered and thatched roof houses, a cider mill and a cheese factory, we will adapt to your wishes.
