Tour of Mont Saint Michel

History of the Mont Saint Michel Abbey

The abbey was built in the Goth­ic style and ded­i­cat­ed to the Archangel St. Michael. It is home to the Excel­lent Monastery, locat­ed between the sky and the sea. Arcade gal­leries are sup­port­ed by columns in a checker­board pat­tern. This pro­vides more light and a feel­ing of light­ness. Behind the monastery you will find your­self in an impres­sive refec­to­ry, where the monks gath­er for a qui­et meal. A tour of Mont Saint-Michel is an immer­sion in the mys­ter­ies and secrets of the majes­tic island and its inhab­i­tants.

After vis­it­ing the Abbey, we offer you to stroll through the streets along the bas­tions. It offers incred­i­bly spec­tac­u­lar views of the bay. The mag­i­cal beau­ty of the sand that sur­rounds the rock is breath­tak­ing even for the most sophis­ti­cat­ed trav­el­ers. If you have free time, we rec­om­mend you try­ing the tra­di­tion­al dish­es of Mont Saint Michel. For exam­ple, the famous Bre­ton pan­cakes. Here you can also vis­it sou­venir shops, tra­di­tion­al vil­lage events and some muse­ums.
