Mont St Michel Travel Guide

Mont St Michel is a small UNESCO World Heritage-listed island located just off the coast of the northern French region of Basse-Normandie, on the border with the neighbouring region of Brittany (the island shares cultural and geographical affinities with both regions). The island is best known as the site of the spectacular and well-preserved medieval Benedictine Abbey of St Michel at the peak of the rocky island, surrounded by the winding streets and convoluted architecture of the medieval town.

Mont Saint Michel was officially inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1979.
