Accommodation on the Mont-Saint-Michel trail: history, advice and reservations

A few words of history...

In the Middle Ages, and even today, there is no such thing as a stopover town: travellers choose where to stop along the way, depending on their mode of transport and their wishes.
In the Middle Ages, depending on their means, pilgrims opted for free overnight accommodation: Hôtel-Dieu or hospitals for "poor passers-by", religious establishments that practised works of mercy (hospitality): priories, abbeys, commanderies. However, there are few direct links between the "hospitable" function and the original location of the religious establishment. If pilgrims were able, they would go to an inn like other travellers.

Now on the road, to help you prepare for your journey, you can download the following documents Practical Miquelots. these lists show the accommodation located close to each Mont-Saint-Michel Way. These lists are produced by route, by stage and by order of progress along the route.

The Practical Miquelots

Despite regular updates, some information may be incorrect. We therefore strongly advise you to book your accommodation sufficiently in advance to check the information given in the Practical Miquelots.

Please note! To ensure that you are well prepared for your journey and that the doors to your accommodation are always open when you visit, it is essential to make contact and book your accommodation well in advance (at least one week in advance, to be on the safe side).

What's more, some stopover gîtes can sometimes be booked in their entirety for stays (at weekends and in high season).
