Great location. But Breakfast was out of nearly everything. My wife couldn’t even get coffee. She was told no! No baguettes, no water, no potatoes, only apples for fruit, etc. told the front desk and it seemed he knew this experience from other (every?) days.

We visited during the peak of tides and were very happy to see the site with and without water. Walking up is not as hard as we though although it being steep and with several steps. Walking up the ramparts side proved to be easier and less crowded then the shops side. The view from the gardens and terraces is beautiful. To skip the lines, purchase your tickets at the Tourist office before walking up. Get your audio guides here as well, since there won't be any available at the Abbeys entrance. The place is of course very touristy especially on the shopping road. We did not eat at any of the restaurants. Most stores sell low quality souvenirs, only a few have nice things. FYI when you exit the Abbey area you will go through a tight turnstyle gate.

This beautiful, historical castle/Abbey is not a disappointment! Put on your hiking shoes and be ready for climbing the cobblestone streets to the peak to enjoy the views! Staying overnight on the island was a fun, “once in a lifetime experience” that we enjoyed, but will not repeat. You can enjoy without staying overnight!

We are SO glad that we made the trip out here!! It was so incredible! I would recommend going at night and during the day! The buses run until midnight, so it’s easy to get there! We stayed in the Hotel Gabriel and we loved it! The bus stop to Mont St. Michel was right across the street, and they served a yummy breakfast! We spent 5-6 hours there- we learned so much! I would highly recommend doing the 4 museums as well! We learned a lot from each one! It was well worth the trip!!

I did not know of Mont Saint Michel until I saw the movie Mindwalk. I immediately put it on my bucket list! - that was twenty years ago. We are both so happy we went here. Just keep in mind there are quite a lot of stairs!

This is among the TOP 10 most Spectacular Places to visit in the World. Literally, it is a colossal ROCK sitting inn the ocean off the Normandy, France Coast that armies have tried to Conquer since 700 a.d. Legend says the Archangel St. Michel appeared to command the Catholic Church to build a huge Abbey on top of Le Mont - an impossible FEAT at that time of 708 a.d. But it was done and today it is a restored magnificent Monument to Christianity and the power of Human Endeavor. We LOVED the recent private cloister of various Hotels, Shopping Galleries & Restaurants that are available only to registered Guests and their Families. It is called La Caserne and includes FREE, 24/7 clean trolleys to Le Mont - every 20 minutes. Don't miss the HUGE handmade La Mere Poulard Omelette - which you can see being whipped and cooked in an enormous FIREPLACE big enough to roast a dozen people!!
