A place you must visit at least once in your life,
Mont Saint-Michel

After Mont-Saint-Michel was built around 708 by order of Saint Michael, Mont-Saint-Michel has now become a world-class travel destination. The moment you arrive at Mont Saint-Michel! It feels like you have entered a fairy tale world. In particular, since it is located on a rocky island off the coast of Normandy, the view of the coast from inside the monastery is truly spectacular.

Don't worry if you don't have a guide. Just tell them at the entrance that you want to take a guided tour and you can join the tour as a group with other travelers.

Although I don't know the name Mont-Saint-Michel, it is a very familiar place.

You may not know Mont-Saint-Michel, but you probably all know what this castle looks like. The reason is that Mont-Saint-Michel has inspired and appeared in many diverse cultures and works. This is because Mont Saint-Michel has already been featured in various places, including the background kingdom of Disney's Rapunzel, the filming location of the JTBC drama The Package, the Keroro movie version, and director Hayao Miyazaki's Laputa, Castle in the Sky.

So now Mont-Saint-Michel is the best travel destination that you must visit along with the Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris.

Introducing how to get to Mont-Saint-Michel

Mont-Saint-Michel is quite far from downtown Paris. So, many people visit Mont Saint-Michel on tours. The tour usually takes the form of combining Étretat, Honfleur, and Mont-Saint-Michel, which are all along the route. It is better to visit Mont Saint-Michel through a tour because it is easy to move around and has a knowledgeable guide. Go here to see the tour !

But what if I want to go and meet in my own style? I will introduce you to the easiest and most convenient transportation method.

1. Book an OUIGO train ticket departing from Paris-Montparnasse station and arriving at Rennes. (Tickets are provided immediately when you make a reservation at SNCF)

2. Take the train to Rennes Station and board the Kiolis Amo bus.

Keolis Amo is a bus with fixed departure and arrival times, so it is best to reserve the train according to these times. The bus ride time is approximately 1 hour. If you move this way, you can easily see Mont Saint-Michel.

Be sure to see the night view

Mont-Saint-Michel is definitely much prettier at night than during the day. So if time allows, definitely! I recommend coming to see the night view. Mont-Saint-Michel is truly the most beautiful during this time, from sunset to night view. So don't miss out!

Little tips from Mont Saint-Michel

Mont-Saint-Michel takes about 10 hours to travel from downtown Paris, but it is well worth the investment! What if you want to stay at Mont Saint-Michel for a day? I recommend Le Relais Saint-Michel Hotel. You can see Mont Saint-Michel right in front of you!

The temperature is lower than in downtown Paris. Warm clothes are essential. There are a lot of mosquitoes, so I recommend bringing mosquito repellent. If you plan to travel individually, you must arrive at Mont-Saint-Michel before 5 PM to see everything from the sunset to the night view.
