Hello, im coming to france for holiday and im planning to go to mont-st-michel. how do i get there from paris?
If you have time, take the train from Paris to St Malo. Spend a night or two there. It is a most fabulous, historic, wonderful beach resort. Hotels are very reasonable. While staying there, take a day trip to Mont St Michel. That too is an amazing place, but you can really see it in a few hours. I have been twice, the first off season when it was very quiet. The second was in August, when we had to join a queue to get in the main gate. Once inside everything was fine. We also got to walk around the island on the beach as the tide was out. I read after that there are areas of quicksand, but we lived to tell the tale! Definately visit, it is a marvellous place. Look past all the tourist trappings and enjoy. p.s. I have lost count of our visits to St Malo, we have enjoyed every one from high summer to mid winter. So far it is my favourite beach in the world!!
