Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel

Take the opportunity to visit the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel, whose construction started during the 10th century and which represented one of the main Christian pilgrimage sites from the 8th century to the 18th century. Observe its diverse architectural influences from West Roman empire, Roman and Gothic styles. The Abbey is composed of typical clerical and military buildings including the Abbey church, the cloister, the refectory, the monks' ambulatory and the gardens known since the 12th century as the "Merveille" - Marvel. The monument became a symbol of French national identity after resisting the attack of the English army during the 14th and 15th century and was officially listed as a historic monument in 1874. Thanks to a continuous restoration work, the site could get back to its former glory. In summer, the Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey is best seen in all its splendor after sunset during the Night poetic route (not taking place Sundays)
