Mont St Michel is one of our favorite places. We have visited several time and even spent the night in 2008, on the evening of the spring high tide. Once you leave the tourist shops at the foot of the mont, the real exploration begins. Everything is old, except for the electric lines, which are in the process of being buried. This is truly an international destination, as we heard many different languages being spoken.

| It was not crowded. Being the holidays, we weren't sure what to expect. |
 |
| St Michel in all his golden glory; I bet he has a wonderful view! |

Access is now by a causeway/bridge that was built to allow the water to surround the island again. It seems to be working. The is no parking at the base of the mont, except for deliveries and certain special exceptions. There is a new visitors center with enormous parking areas, which you have to pay for. This not only includes your parking, but your transportation to and from the entrance to the mont.
