Mont-Saint-Michel
The Wonder, 10 minutes from your gîte
In the surroundings
The most spectacular neighbour in the world: the “Wonder of the West”, its thousand-year-old abbey set on its rock, its medieval lanes and its bay with Europe’s greatest tides. From your gîte, you get there before the tour buses — the privilege of being a local.
