Our team's advice and tips for a successful trip to Mont-Saint-Michel
The guided tour of the Abbey
An ideal way to discover the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel is to take a guided tour! Several tours are available and last 1h15. A little tip: your entrance ticket allows you to take the tour of your choice for free, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it!
The crossing of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel
If you wish to cross the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, we strongly advise you to take a guide. The quick sand and the fast tide are unpredictable elements which can be very dangerous if you venture there alone.

Do not hesitate to go and get information directly on the spot at the Guide's house or directly online on the website of the Mont-Saint-Michel Tourist Office.
