About this activity
Discover and explore the beauty of the Marvel of the West, the Abbey at Mont Saint Michel - one of the Europes most famous architectural masterpieces. Your first sight of the Abbey, either dominating the white beaches between Normandy and Brittany or emerging from the ocean at high tide, will be an unforgettable experience. According to legend, the Archangel St. Michel appeared to a local bishop and ordered him to build a chapel atop the 258-foot high mount and an abbey quickly followed. In order to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims from across Europe, it was constantly embellished with new construction, sometimes built directly on top of prior additions! However, the final result is surprisingly harmonious--one of medieval Europes masterpieces, this architectural wonder is called the Marvel of the West.
