Mont Saint-Michel: discover one of the wonders of France! Monique Renne 10/05/2021 at 10:14 The landscape of Mont Saint-Michel, in France, is capable of leaving any travel enthusiast thrilled (to the point of even getting a speck of dust in their eyes). The medieval French village – located just 350 km from Paris, on the border of Normandy and Brittany – attracts thousands of visitors every day in search of spectacular scenery. It is one of those magical places that become the desire of many travel enthusiasts. Whether it is for the beautiful Abbey that occupies the top of the medieval village or the incredible tidal phenomenon in the English Channel, Mont Saint-Michel is a unique and unmissable attraction in France. We visited Mont Saint-Michel (or Mont Saint-Michel) during a trip to Normandy and, believe me, every second in front of that exuberant landscape will be unforgettable. If you also want to visit this World Heritage Site, we have prepared this post for you with tips on how to get there, where to stay, when to see the spectacle of the tides and what to do in this absolutely breathtaking place. It's time to visit Mont Saint-Michel, one of the most enchanting destinations in France. Contrary to what it may seem, Mont Saint-Michel (or Mount Saint-Michel) is not a castle. The walled region is home to a medieval village, a monastery and a magnificent abbey that gives the place its name. All surrounded by a wonderful natural phenomenon that attracts thousands of visitors: the highest tides in Europe. Visiting Mont Saint-Michel means getting lost in spectacular landscapes, fantastic alleys, enchanted gardens and lots of climbing up and down stairs. You can enter the medieval village and enjoy each of the viewpoints, traditional restaurants and the homes of the lucky few who live there. But the real goal is to reach the top of the Mont Saint Michel Abbey! By the way, entry to Mont Saint-Michel is free and it is open 24 hours a day. You will only need to pay EUR 11 to enter the Abbey (which does have restricted opening hours). A relief for your wallet in times of such high euro exchange rates. The area within the walls of Mont Saint-Michel is spectacular. And each new alleyway you walk through is a beautiful image to be captured. So seriously consider staying there for more than just a few hours. Ideally, you should invest in three nights to be able to enjoy everything. And only those who sleep in Mont Saint-Michel or in the surrounding area can enjoy the village without the crowds of tourists who arrive every day on excursions. At night, when the tourists leave, we can truly appreciate the enchantment of Mont Saint-Michel. Mont Saint Michel
