A UNESCO World Heritage site, this 8th-century Benedictine abbey is a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Its cloisters, refectory and unrivalled views over the bay make it a magical place.

With its spectacular tides and 16 km diameter, the bay offers ever-changing landscapes by the hour. Guided walks or horseback rides let you experience this exceptional natural site in a unique way.

This medieval village, clinging to the rock, is a maze of cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses. Its craft shops and traditional restaurants add an authentic touch to your visit.

Located to the west of the bay, this rocky headland offers an exceptional viewpoint over Mont-Saint-Michel and the Chausey Islands. It’s the perfect spot to watch the tides and observe seabirds.

This historic town is home to the Scriptorial, a museum dedicated to the manuscripts of Mont-Saint-Michel, including its famous illuminations. The town centre, with its gardens and ramparts, is also well worth a visit.
