Hiking with sheep

Highlight • Other

Salt meadows refer to pastures covered by the sea at high tide. In the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, these are occupied by sheep. Their breeding gives rise to lambs from the salt meadows of Mont-Saint-Michel, protected by an AOP. The sight of sheep grazing on these meadows with the famous abbey as a backdrop is simply delightful.

Grande Rue

Highlight • Other

In a medieval “decor”, the Grande rue transports you to another era. It is generally busy if you go in high season. Try to take it at the very beginning of the day to make the most of the exotic and anachronistic atmosphere of the place.

Mont Saint-Michel City Walls

Highlight • Historical Site

The city walls of Mont Saint-Michel have protected the village since the Middle Ages and are up to 10 meters high. Several defensive towers, such as the Tour du Nord and Tour Gabriel, line the circular route. The Chemin des Remparts offers impressive views over the narrow streets, the abbey, and the expansive bay.

Mont Saint-Michel

Highlight • Religious Site

The - probably worldwide - most famous sanctuary dedicated to Archangel Michael is this French "Mont St. Michel" on a small, very impressive monastery island off Normandy, which is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its uniqueness.
The name Michael / Michel (coming from the Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword or lance.
Along with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel, Michael is one of the four Archangels who (according to human conception) hold the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.

Footbridge to Mont Saint-Michel

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Since 2014, the footbridge has replaced the old dike-road which led to Mont-Saint-Michel. It is part of the operation to restore the maritime character of Mont-Saint-Michel. Carried out from 2005 to 2015, this development served to restore the unique character of the block housing the abbey. Crossing the bridge on foot is a wonderful experience.
