Mont St Michel: Wonder of the West...
(1h30 from Luc!)
This marvelous abbey, a masterpiece of Christian architecture listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, defies the sea from its rock and captivates crowds from all over the world. The "Wonder of the West" is the most visited monument in France. Mont-Saint-Michel sits in the middle of a bay that lives to the rhythm of the tides. Shifting sands, sudden fogs, tides rising at the speed of a "galloping horse" ... Many mysteries surround Mont-Saint-Michel.
Every year, nearly 3.5 million visitors are welcomed to the site. It was one of the first places of worship of the Archangel Saint Michael in 708. The abbey offers a complete panorama of medieval architecture from the XNUMXth to the XNUMXth century.
Open every day except January 1, May 1 and December 25. Self-guided or guided tours lasting one hour every day (except exceptional dates). Lecture tours lasting approximately two hours, on weekends and every day during school holidays (except exceptional dates).
