MONT ST MICHEL
NORMANDY FRANCE
Getting There
\From Paris take the train to Rennes and there is a shuttle bus to Mont St Michelm a distance of 67 km. From Saint Malo, there is a bus service (56 km) . We chose to stay in Saint Malo, which has history.
Mont St Michel is a tidal island, linked to the mainland by a causeway.The car park is 2.5 km from the island entrance.The area around the island is swampy and not that attractive. The entrance to the sixty or so buildings all UNESCO World Heritage and French Historical Monuments is crammed with tacky shops and restaurants designed for the 3 million tourists each year.The older buildings up the hill are interesting and have history but the place was full of tourists and not as good as expected.
