Let the train take the strain! All aboard for a day trip – it’s the easiest and cheapest way to get to the Mont-Saint-Michel. Or why not stay a little longer so you can venture further afield? A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, the Mont-Saint-Michel is the crowning jewel in the setting of its magnificent Bay.  

A FLAT-RATE TICKET


Special offer from June to end September: leave Paris from Montparnasse station on board the train to the Mont-Saint-Michel and get off at Pontorson. On your arrival at the Pontorson train station, a shuttle will drive you to the Mont. A discount will be given for each entrance to the Abbey of the Mont-Saint-Michel (free entrance for EU citizens under 26).

From October to the end of May, a train also runs from Paris to the Mont-Saint-Michel via Villedieu-les-Poêles (a bus runs between Villedieu-les–Poêles to the Mont-Sain-Michel – one way return per day).

From Paris-Monparnasse train station, you can also travel to Rennes (in Brittany) and then take a bus (from Rennes bus station) to the Mont-Saint-Michel. For more information and to download the bus schedule, go to www.keolis-armor.com, page «Going to Mont Saint-Michel».

the MONT-SAINT-MICHEL AND its BAY


You have to admit that this particular corner of Normandy is superb, with so many things to see and discover, and the crowning glory is the medieval masterpiece of the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel. We recommend that you book one of the professional guides at the Abbey to bring the buildings and their history to life, often in a humourous way!

GRANVILLE, CHRISTIAN DIOR’s childhood home


All along the coast are typical little stone villages in the style of the Manche département. If staying in a town life is more to your taste, Granville, the ‘Monaco of the North’ will not disappoint, and in the summer, the festival season comes to town! Visit Christian Dior’s family home which houses a museum in his memory. The garden affords a wonderful view of the sea, the horizon defined by the distant Chausey Islands.
