Mont Saint Michel on a misty morning

Le Mont Saint Michel manche Normandy

If you are visiting the Mont in the summer months you need to get there early.It gets very hot in the narrow passages that lead to the ramparts and then lots of steps to the top. When we visited it was a warm but misty day in October. We arrived at the large car park in front of the Mont at 9am and were surprised by the number of cars and coaches already here.It cost 4 euros to park for the day luckily the tide no longer covers the car park now.We were about 300yds from the entrance to the Mont so if you came late you could have a walk of a mile just to get in.

Les Terrasses Poulard Hotel Le Mont-Saint-Michel

Les-Terrasses-Poulard-Hotel

This hotel is full of character. Being an old building, it only has the inconvenience of having small rooms, which is highly compensated for by the excellent location and quality of the restaurant. Please note that neither coaches nor cars have access through the gates of Mont Saint Michel. Guests will, therefore, need to park in the car park nearest to the entrance when the tide is low. Alternatively, you have the option to park further away. You will have a slightly longer walk but the breathtaking view will be worth it. This is a charming, traditional building. The hotel is ideally located on Mont Saint Michel, a five minute walk uphill from the entrance gate.
