Attraction: Mont Saint-Michel
The Mont Saint-Michel, one of France’s most popular tourist destinations, receives approximately 2.5 million visitors per year. The Mont Saint-Michel is located on the border of the regions of Brittany and Normandy, both of which are worth visiting.
It’s important to remember while visiting the Mont Saint-Michel that it’s not a made-up tourist attraction and that it’s home to 44 people, including the monks and nuns who live in the Abbey.
The climb to the top of Mont Saint-Michel is difficult: the route to the summit is steep, narrow, and cobblestoned. There are also a lot of stairs to climb, particularly if you want to go up to the Abbey. Make sure you have a decent pair of walking shoes with you.
The entrance to the Mont Saint-Michel is open, and you could easily spend an entire day simply admiring the village and its surroundings. However, there are many sights and activities to enjoy, including museums, churches, and, of course, the magnificent Abbey perched atop.
