Mont Saint Michel Travel Blogs

I was incredibly exited today to visit Mont Saint Michel. The photos of this place are spectacular - a cone shaped island that before the land bridge was built would be isolated during high tide. Miles out, the ground is mud with spots of quicksand that made pilgramages to the monastary up top a de…

My guidebook says unless St. Michel is financing my travel, I should not stay inside the island of Mont St-Michel, instead, at the small town of Pontorson, 5km away from MSM, so we did.  The hotel La Tour Brette is nice and all, friendly hosts, and has a good restaurant where the nicely d…

I did not stop at the Mont Saint Michel on that trip, but it is a monument I visited before and it is so exceptionnal that I wanted to add a review from my memory of it as I drove past it while going up to Normandy, I even saw it from the motorway! I have been therea couple of times no…

First of all, France is AMAZING and it was bittersweet coming back home. I guess that just gives me an excuse to go back though! I went to Le Havre, Normandie, Bretagne, Loire Valley, and L'Ile de France. I loved every part of it, the chateaus, the beaches, the people. Awesome experience.

this is one of World Heritage Site. this was used as a Convent. it's definitely worth to visit since it has really beautiful view not only itself but sorroud of it, looks like island.

Aaah!  The famous fortified monastery built on a rock in Normandy.  Before modernisation, it could only be accessed during low tide. But now, hordes of tourist descend upon it (or maybe ascend) at all times ... grossly over-touristed for my tastes with shops, cafes etc.  But still …
