PLEASE NOTE: This self-guided walking tour does not include entry to the Mont Saint-Michel Abbey. It is not their official audio guide but one created by a passionate local guide within the area. Please check online for entry fees and opening times.
Go inside the Mont Saint-Michel Abbey back to explore a simpler time when the monks of the Abbey lived their lives according to the scriptures and the ebb and flow of the seasons. The way this Benedictine abbey was constructed over centuries, on a remote rock facing the sea, reveals what spirituality could inspire back then.
With this audio guide, you'll find out:
• How books were written before computers and the printing press • How heavy stones were transported before the invention of engines • Why monks don't have BBQs • The truth behind the daily life of clergy in feudal society • What links jet-setters and kings
