Historic Places

One of France's most recognisable landmarks, Mont Saint-Michel and its bay are classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Le Mont-Saint-Michel is an island commune in Normandy, France which has held strategic fortifications since ancient times and since the 8C AD has been the seat of the monastery from which it draws its name. The structural composition of the town exemplifies the feudal society that constructed it: on top, God, the abbey and monastery; below, the great halls; then stores and housing; and at the bottom, outside the walls, houses for fishermen and farmers. One of France's most recognizable landmarks, visited by more than 3 million people each year, Mont Saint-Michel and its bay are on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

I planned a trip for a small trio of girlfriends. We were very pleased with our trip to Europe, and your site is what made it such a smooth and easy process for me to select our hotels. Our hotels were all decent and all went well. We will be using your site again in the future as it was very helpful!

I have already recommended to several of my peers! I am really impressed. Saludos! Thanks for making my trip something amazing. The platform is EXTRA easy to use, and very intuitive. Being as graphic with the actual route in google map format, photographs of each location, etc makes it much easier than other travel management tools.
