great, a visit as we like them - Super interesting "Man at Arms" lecturer who transported us to Mont Saint Michel at the time of the 100 Years War and the resistance of the Mont in front of the English. Walking along the ramparts of the Mont, he also explained to us how (and why!) Father Aubert created this place of pilgrimage. It was exciting and young and old loved it! Thank you, sir.

Exciting and alive - A top visit with a great speaker who gets to interest both adults and young. Exciting and alive, I strongly advise! (Maybe avoid with child under 6 years for whom it may seem long?)

Visit with Péppin Le Breton - Péppin Le Breton guided us on the Mount for 2 hours , it was the perfect guide, a large period of history is summarized but always very precise with a dynamism that we do not let go. We learned a lot and retained a lot, very interesting and really a great guide, who we feel is passionate. Family with 3 children (7 to 10 years old).

Testimony of a journey out of time - By the grace of Peppin the Breton, we were transported back centuries, to the heart of the fifteenth century, in these troubled times of the Hundred Years’ War. Like a spellbinding ride through history, this adventure made us see Mont-Saint-Michel not as we know it today, but as it once was: an impregnable bastion, fiercely defended by valiant souls. The story, told with verve and knowledge, was like a living manuscript—rich in detail, full of breath and emotion. No weariness took place during these blessed hours; everything flowed like the wind on the ramparts. We pay homage to our guide, storyteller of ancient times, for this unforgettable odyssey in the heart of the ages. Lowly travelers

Great historic moment - Another discovery of the history of France through this trip in the 15th century with Pépin Le Breton who knew how to transport us to the Mont Saint Michel of that time. It was wonderful!

Happy cultural walk - Corentin is an outstanding storyteller, full of humor under his helmet, with mastered knowledge. A two-hour walk where there is no time to be bored. I highly recommend it. There were children in the group, he knew how to use them. Thank you.
