Full description

Mont-Saint-Michel rises from the tidal flats of the Normandy coast, its abbey church perched at the very summit. This ticket covers entry to the abbey, where you walk through the Romanesque and Gothic church, the cloister hanging above the bay and the vaulted halls of La Merveille.

The island is about 4 hours from Paris, so most visitors come on a long day trip or stay nearby. You make your own way to the Mont; free shuttles run from the mainland car parks to the island. Abbey hours vary by season.
