How Do You Go To Mont Saint Michel?
Mont Saint Michel is a stunning medieval monastery and fortress set a few hundred meters off the coast of Brittany in northern France.

Many make the mistake of thinking that an organized tour bus is the only way to go, but for those who wish to explore on their own, take their time wandering the walled fortress, have lunch or maybe even stay the night, doing it yourself is best. Reserve a car in Caen and depart Paris for the city by two-hour (give or take 15 minutes) train from Gare du Nord. Collect your car at the rail station and head west on A84 toward Avranches. For those with an interest in World War II history, Caen and its environs are worth a few days exploration. Caen features an excellent World War II museum and many remnants of D-Day and the battle of Normandy. By driving the area from Caen to the northern coast you will find sights including the beaches
