History of Mont-Saint-Michel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"History<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re a heritage enthusiast or simply curious, with your family or as a couple, we think it’s essential to visit Mont-Saint-Michel during your camping holiday in the Cotentin region<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An emblematic symbol of Normandy and a monument steeped in history, Mont-Saint-Michel has fascinated visitors for over 1,300 years<\/strong>. It was in 708 that Aubert, bishop of Avranches, ordered the construction of the first sanctuary dedicated to the archangel Saint-Michel. Over the centuries, this simple oratory grew into a majestic Benedictine abbey<\/strong>, perched on a rocky islet swept by Europe’s highest tides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortified in the Middle Ages, the Mont resisted the assaults of the Hundred Years’ War, becoming a symbol of faith and resistance<\/strong>. Even today, it retains the allure of a medieval city<\/strong>, with its cobbled streets, ramparts and Gothic abbey that seems to touch the sky. A UNESCO World Heritage<\/strong> Site since 1979, Mont-Saint-Michel continues to attract pilgrims, visitors and dreamers from all over the world. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

A visit to Mont-Saint-Michel can take place in several stages: a tour of the village and ramparts<\/strong>, with a guide, a tour of the abbey<\/strong>, a visit to the museums<\/strong> and an outing in the bay<\/strong> with a prefecture-certified guide. There are a multitude of ways to discover Mont-Saint-Michel as a family, depending on the age of the children, the season and the weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visits can be made with a digital tablet, \u201cfamily visits<\/strong>\u201d are available on reservation and allow you to go further by pushing the forbidden doors, and a treasure hunt<\/strong> is even organized in the heart of the village and up to the summit of the Merveille<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
