Mont-Saint-Michel
Le Mont-Saint-Michel, France
About
Mont-Saint-Michel is best treated as one full destination: the village and tidal island are free to enter, while the abbey at the top is the paid highlight. Budget for parking if arriving by car, take the free shuttle or walk in, and go early if you want the abbey before the heaviest crowds.
