Our last stop in Normandy is the spectacular Mont-Saint-Michel. A magical island topped by a gravity-defying abbey, the Mont-Saint-Michel and its Bay count among France’s most stunning sights. For centuries one of Europe’s major pilgrimage destinations, this holy island is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as is its breathtaking bay. In this video we show you where we parked our motorhome to spend the night near the island and explore the vicinity by bicycle.

Yes very cool out there. But the air very fresh.
I love video with you 💕 pozdrav iz Srbije
Mont St Michel is so beautiful. You were lucky with the crowd. Nice video.👍👍 Next stop the Dolmen??
Visited many many years ago, and at the last minute decided to stay for the night. Wasn't that expensive that time (we were backpacking…)
Enjoying it without people has been one of the highlights of our travels… Watching the tide come in from way up in the abbey was amazing!
🤩 Mont Saint Michel really looks incredible. Thank you for taking us there. 👋
That was an amazing trip I'm so jealous
Enjoyed the video, agree the place is beautiful, we were dissapointed with the commercial aspect to the place. However it runs a distant second to Saint Michaels Mount in Cornwall England for us, Hope you enjoy Dinan a real gem of Brittany
Spot with how they look after motor home never paid for park ups once when we was there in April
😅😅😂
You are getting very professional with the filming and editing, Andre 👍 It's good to see you enjoying your bike Lisa 😊
Enjoy Brittany, (my Family live in all areas of the department), Great drone footage and music btw. Travel safe!
You make wonderful movies and I'm happy to follow you! We visit France yearly since 10 years ago. We might move there when we retire… Don't know yet. (We are Swedish and live in the southern part). I'm curious about your bike – it look's perfect for us instead of bringing two bikes. What is it and where to buy it? Br, Johnny & Ewa from Sweden
I must be weird. Because, I was so under-whelmed by Mont Saint Michel. Maybe it was because I had seen so many photos of it before we visited. And then when we visited it was so touristy, the few hotels on the mainland were charging crazy prices. You had to avoid Japanese tourists with camera's on most of the road leading up to the island itself. I really didn't like it. I believe there is a sister Mont Michel in Wales which I suspect is much more authentic and less of a tourist rip-off than this one. I love the architecture and the setting but in my opinion, its not worth the effort and cost of visiting. We headed down south very quickly to the lovely town of La Rochelle which has amazing history and is just wow.
Greetings to you both from Kigali in Rwanda.
That's an incredible find, I will put it on the list of places to visit on my way down to the south. A fab vid anyway 😀😀😀👍👍👍👍
Great vid as always guys 😀👍… glad Lisa is looking happier on her bike 😊🇬🇧x
AH thank you, as ever, Andre and Lisa – a cracking film again, Mount Saint Michelle looks absolutely incredible – the drone footage, particularly the cycling bit was amazing. You set a high bar! We really hope your channel keeps on growing. As ever, our YouTube friends – keep on with the happy travels and lovely films. We're sailing straight past France in December, so it will be a while before we get there but it looks brilliant in a motorhome. From a wet and blustery Ireland (but another incredible park up!) Kevin & Nicky x
Great vid again ,maybe take a look at St Malo
We visited Normandy in 2008 by car from Denmark, and also went to the WWII beaches, Omaha beach, Pegasus bridge, WWII cemeteries, museums and Mont-Saint-Michel. Looks like a new road now. It was fantastic.
Alow Thank you for sharing a magnificent, magical place. worthy of a fairy tale❤
Beautifully shot Andre. Love the drone shots on this one. Curious what drone you use? I'm still running the original Mavic 2 Pro with ND Polarising filters. Love all your drone shots to set the scene. Great work!
