abbey, the museums, the parish church :
|
|
 |
|
Situated in the middle
of a bay, the Mont Saint-Michel welcomes
nearly three
and a half million people every year this includes
visitors, pilgrims and tourists.
At the entrance of this medieval town is the ancient
Burgher’s Guardroom now the Tourist Office.
 |
After going through
the Boulevard Gate and then the King’s
Gate fortified with its portcullis, you will
find the « Grande Rue »
or main street wih its museums, shops and
houses dating from the 15th and 16th centuries.
The parish church consecrated to St. Pierre,
the patron saint of fishermen is a small edifice
from the 15th and 16th centuries.
Finally we get to the « Grande Degre »
or Grande Staircase whose majesty is a prelude
to the « Marvel ». After
admiring the Abbey church, you can enjoy the
beautiful and matchless view over the bay
when going down the ramparts path. |
