Part 3/9:
Following the reflective visit to the beaches, it’s time for something more uplifting: Mont Saint-Michel. This iconic island, known for its breathtaking abbey, appears to rise out of the fog, making for a captivating sight. Though it can be touristy, the journey up the single narrow street lined with shops and eateries culminates in the majestic abbey at the top.
While it’s crucial to brace for crowds, visiting later in the day can offer a quieter experience. Spending the night here can allow you to take in the island’s beauty without the throngs of tourists. Mont Saint-Michel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see in Normandy.
