The large parking lot with shuttle bus drove us there and back quickly. Parking lot, if you are there all day, 24€ incl. shuttle. Mont Saint-Michel is very impressive. An unforgettable experience with a great view, lots of shopping and restaurants. The many stairs provide enough exercise 😅.

The purchase on the website went perfectly and at the appointed time I was able to start the tour of the abbey, which is absolutely magnificent. A place to visit, especially in fine weather. If you can avoid the shuttle bus, it's a 40-minute walk to get there.

Went last Sunday with my sister and wow, Mont Saint Michel is just—magical??? The walk from the shuttle is longer than you think, so wear decent shoes. Weather was gray but honestly made the abbey look even more EPIC. We spent like half the time gawking at the views. Only bummer—sooo many people, felt like we were in a parade at times. Still, totally worth it!

The abbey is super impressive but prepare for big crowds in July. Our guide was easy to understand and had lots of cool stories. The stairs are tough, but you get used to them. Wish the group was smaller, but still a great experience.

Cool place, but a bit crowded when we went (June weekends, go figure). Guide was friendly and easy to follow, and there was plenty of time for questions. Some of the rooms felt kinda rushed, but I guess that’s what happens with big groups. Still loved the atmosphere and hearing about the tides—never realized how dangerous that could be! Bring a light jacket, it gets chilly inside.
