Once, the prayers of the monks were heard here, and the walls protected the monastery from besieging enemies. To this day, the tides still come in suddenly, rapidly turning the island into a maritime citadel. A self-guided tour of Mont Saint-Michel with a TouringBee audio guide will help you discover how pilgrims over the centuries have travelled through raging waters to reach this unique destination.

What’s in store for you?
Grab your audio guide and go on a tour of Mont Saint-Michel, where the most atmospheric sites and fascinating stories await.
- A place of bustle and commerce, where artisans once thrived, but now souvenir shops neighbour ancient houses and inns
- Mesmerising views of endless sands, the sea, and ancient rooftops invite you to imagine yourself as a medieval guardian
- A famous location with legendary omelettes, which are whipped into airy foam and cooked according to a secret recipe that has been preserved since the 19th century
- Powerful defences that withstood the sieges of the English during the Hundred Years’ War and still bear the traces of those battles
- The shining symbol of the island at the top of the abbey, weighing as much as a small car and believed to protect the place from evil forces
- A small parish church in the shadow of the great abbey, where locals once prayed for salvation in times of storms and sieges
- What else is there to do on the island?
- The car park is on the mainland, about 2.5 km from the island
- If high tide is predicted, leave the island early; otherwise, you will have to wait several hours for the water to recede
- Tide tables can be viewed on the Abbey’s website or at the tourist office
