Things to do in  Mont-St-Michel

One of France’s most-visited—and enchanting—destinations is the UNESCO-listed Mont-St-Michel, a small island crowned by an abbey of ancient origins that rises like a mirage off the mist-shrouded Normandy coast. A major Christian pilgrimage site during the medieval period, visiting the landmark is now one of the top things to do in Mont-St-Michel, and millions of visitors a year come to revel in the glorious bay views from the ramparts, tour the abbey, browse the bijou shops and museums, and eat the famed omelet served at La Mère Poulard. A chaser of calvados is optional, but recommended.
