I was drunk in an atmosphere that I couldn't experience in Japan! I want you to go once in your life! It was good to have the scent of the rocky shore! !!
MoreThe Mont Saint Michel Abbey is located on Mont Saint Michel. Mont Saint Michel overlooks the English Channel to the north. The monastery is like the finishing touch on the top of the mountain, making its overall visual effect spectacular. A place occupied by the British, it is also the third holiest site in Catholicism.
△The abbey church was built in 1023 and the entire project took almost a hundred years to complete. A strategic point in the heart of the bay, the abbey was also a fortress of the Duchy of Normandy in the Middle Ages. During the Hundred Years' War, and despite the numerous conflicts that took place in the region, Mont-Saint-Michel resisted. This is notably thanks to the construction of powerful ramparts, which made it an impregnable city, but undoubtedly also thanks to the incessant coming and going of the tides.
△A true political and intellectual crossroads, the Mont-Saint-Michel abbey has welcomed pilgrims from all walks of life, including several kings of France and England, such as Henri II Plantagenêt, Saint Louis, Louis XI, Anne of Brittany, François I. ..
△A true architectural feat, the abbey makes you dizzy and disoriented. Its verticality is the most striking element. Its location at the top and on the side of the rock imposes a complex organization in superposition and winding. The abbey is the subject of more and more extraordinary restoration projects in order to preserve its exceptional character and keep it in as good a condition as possible for future generations. The cloister, the statue of the archangel, and more recently the buildings of the Merveille have been restored. At the same time, each year numerous cultural events are organized to bring the abbey to life. We offer you a rich, varied but also daring cultural program. Why notcome and open the doors of this extraordinary abbey?

World-class tourist attractions, five hours drive from Paris, the surrounding hotels have been overcrowded, the tide period needs to be booked a few months in advance, the monastery on the top of the mountain is very lonely, the surrounding fields are also very beautiful.
World heritage, truly world-class cultural attractions, the place that I was most delighted with the whole month of travel in France, the towering arrow towers, and the design of the perfect combination of the mountain, although not seeing the tide, but very beautiful.
A dream of the Cardinal in the 7th century cast the predecessor of the Monastery on Mount Saint-Michel. As the years went on and a large number of pilgrims visited, the monastery was expanded and renovated, and finally became what it is today. The monastery, which has three architectural styles of Romanesque, Gothic and Flame Gothic, has formed its own style, and the golden archangel on the top of the monastery is dazzling in the sun. The monastery's long history, strange architectural style and extraordinary religious significance make Mount Saint-Michel a miracle in the eyes of the world.
beautiful place. but really crowded. not suitable for families with huge strollers
Very good, highly recommended
On the top of the hill in St. Michel, it looks like a sea fairy palace from a distance, and even if you don't believe in it, you feel a sense of reverence. Compared to the crowded streets of the day, the charged church is relatively empty, and it is very reminiscent of the medieval feel. There was a statue of St. Michel the dragon on the spire of the church, but unfortunately when I went there, the statue was repaired.
