Mont Saint-Michel, Mont-Saint-Michel

It is an amazing place! The shops are nice and not overpriced. The food we had was great and again reasonably priced. The Abbey is a fantastic place. Purchase tickets in advance to avoid the lines. The views are breathtaking! There is a free bus to shuttle you out there, just beware the small town rolls up at 9:30 pm!

An awesome place to visit. Rich history and very well preserved monastery. The village is very crowded, and it will take time to walk through it. There will also definitely be a queue to the monastery at the top but it is definitely worth it! Also, try and time with the highest tide coefficient as you can then hear the sea roaring it. Furthermore, sunset and sunrise are the best times to see it from a distance. Get away from the road by going to either the eastern (morning) or western (evening) to get the best view.

Lovely place, so glad we found the time to visit. Lots of shops / cafes etc. We looked around the monastery. Caught the free shuttle bus there and enjoyed a lovely walk back to our campsite. Must visit it at night, very special, even if you view from afar, worth it. Very busy during the day - August 2017

oh, Mont Saint Michel... you just can't help loving it and dream of going back on a cold misty day when all the tourists are vanished. Avoid the main path, walk - with some effort - through the steep flights of steps to get up to the Abbey as quickly as possible, then be completely engulfed by the sheer beauty and admirable engineering skills of the men who built this monument. One room after the other, one view after the other, it's just magical.

Such a nice place. A must see. Just don't get in the tourist traps and if possible go there in Autumn/Winter it's way better.
