Spring tides : when Mont Saint-Michel becomes an island again !

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mont Saint-Michel is a jewel set in the heart of a spectacular bay, offering countless ways to enjoy the experience.

At certain times of the year, during spring tides, Mont Saint-Michel fully regains its island character for a few hours. Surrounded by water, it then offers a rare and striking spectacle, much loved by visitors from all over the world.
