For over 12 centuries, this great piece of rock buffeted by the waves has been altered by man to produce the amazing sight we see here today, with a medieval village hugging the rock face and its crowning Abbey. Equipped with our audio guide, you’re now going to discover the various features of this location. We’ll begin with the fortifications which take us back to the 100 Years’ War and the art of medieval warfare. We’ll then walk up the Grande Rue lined with its charming half-timbered medieval houses until we reach the abbey. In addition to a magnificent view over the bay, we’ll be seeing some renowned buildings along the way. They’ll give us the opportunity to follow the evolution of art from the Romanesque to the Gothic periods and to discover some of the most beautiful Gothic interiors of France, notably the Refectory and the Salle des Chevaliers or Knight’s Hall. Not for nothing is the Mont Saint-Michel known as the “Marvel of the West” - you’ll see that it really lives up to its reputation.
