Completion of the abbey took hundreds of years
The first church was built on the mount in 709 at the request of Archangel Michael. A couple hundred years later, a small group of Benedictines settled there permanently and the church was enlarged. The first monastery was carved in the rock in the 11th century and gradually got bigger and bigger over the following centuries. In the medieval time, it quickly became an important destination for pilgrims, just like Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
The construction of the abbey as we know it nowadays was finished in the 13th and 14th centuries, and the grand chancel was replaced in the 15th century. Those hundreds of years of architectural prowess have left us with a magnificent monument, now referred as the “Wonder of the Western World”.
Visit of Unesco World Heritage Site of Mont Saint Michel
During your Mont St Michel day trip, you will start by traveling from Bayeux to the Mont Saint Michel, which you will access via a shuttle (scheduled departures) and the bridge in accordance with local requirements. While on the road, make sure to take it all in and observe the beauty of the Normandy landscape. Locally, the Mount has always been in the middle of a feud between Normandy and Brittany as to in which region the site belongs to.
Our Mont Saint Michel tour from Bayeux will then take you to the abbey itself, at the very top of the mount where the Benedictine Abbey is located. Follow your knowledgeable guide During this walking tour, the history of its construction will be explained in detail and while you are there, make sure to snap some pictures of the amazing views on the surrounding bay! Follow a guided tour of the Mont Saint Michel Abbey and then enjoy some free time for personal discovery and lunch.
The Mont Saint Michel is also a lively small town, boasting dozens of shops, restaurants and museums
After the visit of the abbey, our guide will set you free to explore the town at your own pace and bring back some souvenirs for friends and family. Your guide will also suggest some great restaurants for lunch. Of course, if you still have some questions about the history or the architecture of the Mont Saint Michel, your private guide will remain available for you.
This Mont Saint Michel private tour can take in small groups of 2 to 8 persons maximum. The tour takes place in a recent and fully equipped Mercedes minivan. A certified, English-speaking guide will be with you all day and ready to answer any questions you may have.
After the tour, it will be time to head back to your accommodation. Upon your return, don't forget to visit the famous Bayeux tapestry or marvel at Norman architecture present in this charming small town of France.

How difficult is it to reach Mont Saint Michel Abbey?
Mont Saint Michel as the name points out, is a mount and the Abbey is located at the top of the Mount! There are roughly 350 stairs that you will need to climb to reach the Abbey - around 200 stairs are in the village itself and the remaining 150 are within the Abbey.

Yes, after the morning guided visit of the Abbey, the rest of your time at the Mont Saint Michel is for you to enjoy.

On your way, don't hesitate to take some of the smaller side streets that are less crowded and that can lead to some stunning views over the Bay. -
