We arrived shortly after dawn and the streets were not yet crowded. We savored from the walls the sound of the advancing tide. We immersed ourselves in visiting the marvelous abbey: I lost ( or regained) my sense of time, verticality and respect for humanity's ability to respectfully inhabit the land

The bus runs very organized and very well; it leaves you about 150 meters away and the arrival with the Abbey in the background is spectacular. Arriving rested is a very nice walk the medieval street and the steps up to the Abbey. You enter directly and very comfortable with pre-purchased tickets.

Purchasing tickets is easy and the assistance for entry into the hotel area is also good. Too bad there was a general strike in France that day and the ticket was useless because you get in for free.... M. s.Michel Abbey is fascinating, the location and the tidal phenomenon very striking. Too bad that, like other monuments in France (for example, the Palace of the Popes in Avignon), the abbey is completely bare inside.

Explore the highlights of Mont-Saint-Michel at your own pace with an audio guide for the island, perfect for travelers seeking flexibility and depth without a group tour.

Enter the Abbey at your reserved time slot and access its most iconic spaces, from the grand refectory to the serene cloisters and panoramic terrace.

Discover the island’s history and legends with an audio guide available in multiple languages, featuring expert narration, a suggested walking route, and insights into monastic life, medieval pilgrims, and the island’s natural defenses.

No guides or printed maps needed, just pick up your audio guide and start exploring on your schedule.
