Your experience at Mont Saint-Michel

Start your day in Paris

As you approach Mont Saint-Michel, France's famous island abbey and UNESCO World Heritage Site, you'll learn about its storied past before you even arrive.

Ascend to the magnificent abbey

Arriving on the island, you'll make your way up cobbled streets and winding paths towards Mont Saint-Michel Abbey. Dating to the 8th century, this awe-inspiring structure was built atop granite and became a symbol of faith and resilience. The abbey features stone stairways, vast halls and quaint gardens perched above the sweeping bay.

Discover Gothic wonders and medieval history

Inside, use your audio guide to uncover the abbey's Gothic architecture, intricate cloisters and peaceful refectory.
