Hiking

The cloister of Mont Saint-Michel is a Gothic masterpiece located at the top of the abbey, in the part called “La Merveille”. Built between 1228 and 1230, it served as a place of meditation for monks, offering a peaceful space open to the sky. The cloister is famous for its columns arranged in a staggered pattern, forming tripods which support the vault. This garden suspended between sky and sea is a true haven of peace, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the spiritual and historical atmosphere of Mount

Hiking

The cloister is a marvel of architecture that takes up an element of Islamic art (known from the Crusades): diagonally offset columns that allow very special depth effects and provide space for an intermediate vault.
