Mont Saint-Michel:
A Must-See Destination Once in Your Lifetime

First built in 708 at the command of Saint Michael, Mont Saint-Michel has grown into one of the world’s most enchanting travel destinations. The moment you arrive, it feels like stepping straight into a fairytale. Perched on a rocky island off the Normandy coast, the abbey offers breathtaking views of the shoreline that are worth the journey alone.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a guide. At the entrance, you can simply ask to join a group tour and explore Mont Saint-Michel with other travelers while learning about its rich history.

Famous Long Before You Knew Its Name

Even if the name Mont Saint-Michel doesn’t ring a bell, chances are you’ve already seen it. Its magical silhouette has inspired countless works—from Disney’s Tangled kingdom and Hayao Miyazaki’s Castle in the Sky, to Korean drama The Package and even Keroro movies. Because of this, Mont Saint-Michel is now considered one of France’s most iconic landmarks, right alongside the Eiffel Tower.

How to Get There

Mont Saint-Michel is quite a distance from central Paris, so most travelers visit as part of a tour. Popular itineraries combine it with stops in Étretat and Honfleur, making the journey both convenient and rewarding with a knowledgeable guide.

If you’d rather explore at your own pace, the easiest way is:

1. Take an OUIGO train from Paris Montparnasse to Rennes (tickets available directly from SNCF).
2. From Rennes station, hop on the Keolis Armor bus to Mont Saint-Michel (about 1 hour).

Since the bus has fixed departure times, it’s best to book your train to align with the schedule.

Don’t Miss the Night View

Mont Saint-Michel is stunning by day, but it becomes truly magical at night. If your schedule allows, stay until sunset to watch the island glow under the evening sky. The transition from dusk to night is often described as the most beautiful moment at Mont Saint-Michel—an experience you won’t want to miss.

Traveler Tips

The journey from Paris takes around 10 hours round-trip, but it’s absolutely worth it. If you’re planning to stay overnight, consider Le Relais Saint-Michel Hotel, which offers direct views of the abbey.

Keep in mind: temperatures are lower here than in Paris, so bring warm clothing. Mosquito repellent is also a good idea. If traveling independently, aim to arrive before 5 PM to enjoy both the sunset and night view.
