Mont Saint-Michel is not only impressive from the outside, but also inside, a labyrinth of paths, steps, and narrow alleys that spiral around the granite rock up to the famous abbey. Upon entering through the main gate, the "Porte du Roi," you are transported back in time. Cobblestones, half-timbered houses, old inns, and small shops line the "Grande Rue," the main street, which winds its way up in tight curves. It is often bustling with activity – pilgrims, visitors, and traders fill the street as it once did in the Middle Ages.

Hiking

The higher you climb, the quieter it becomes. Small side streets, hidden staircases, and wall passages lead to vantage points and quiet corners from which you can survey the expanse of the bay. Particularly impressive is the walk along the old fortifications – the battlements and walls, from which you can observe the mighty tides.
