Mont Saint-Michel – The Wonder of the West
Perched on a granite rock by the sea, Mont Saint-Michel is one of the most visited sites in France, receiving approximately 3,200,000 visitors annually. Its stunning architecture and rich history have made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.
Tour Highlights
1. Mont Saint-Michel Abbey
Spiritual Origin: The history of the Abbey dates back to the year 708, when Bishop Aubert of Avranches received a vision of Saint Michael the Archangel, ordering the construction of a sanctuary on top of the rock.
Gothic Architecture: Benedictine monks settled here in the 10th century, and the Abbey was built between the 12th and 16th centuries and is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture.
Symbol of Resistance: During the Hundred Years' War, the Abbey became an impregnable fortress, resisting English attacks and symbolizing French national identity.
2. Medieval Village
Explore the charming narrow streets of the village that has grown at the foot of the Abbey over the centuries.
Admire the historic buildings, many of which are listed as historic monuments, such as the main church.
3. Contemporary History
After the French Revolution, the Mount was used as a prison until 1863. Since then, it has undergone restoration and was declared a Historic Monument in 1987.
4. New: Mont Saint-Michel becomes an island again
Thanks to a sustainable and heritage project, Mont Saint-Michel has become an island again for a few hours each year, recovering its original maritime character.
This transformation allows visitors to experience the site as it was in ancient times, surrounded by the waters of the bay.
