The Mont-Saint-Michel Trail

The association "Les Chemins du Mont-Saint-Michel", founded in 1998, is dedicated to rediscovering, rehabilitating and promoting the ancient pilgrimage routes leading to the famous Norman shrine dedicated to the archangel Saint Michael.

Thanks to its surveys, the association is extending the network of Saint Michael's paths to a number of European countries and renewing the historical links between Mont-Saint-Michel and the major European sites dedicated to the Archangel Michael, by crossing the territories marked by these legendary routes.

Walking the paths of
Mont-Saint-Michel

The pilgrimage was made by most of the kings of France until the end of the 16th century, including Saint Louis, Philippe-le-Bel, Louis XI and François I, as well as by the most important figures in the kingdom. But it was mainly made by people of modest means and children.

The end of the 19th century saw the restoration of the abbey, which has been classified as a historic monument, and the return of worship and pilgrimages to Saint Michael. Now a major tourist attraction, the home of the Archangel attracts millions of visitors every year.
