Inside Mont Saint-Michel’s Abbey — Medieval Monastery with Hidden Rooms | France 4K

#MontSaintMichel #FranceTravel #MedievalAbbey
Explore the breathtaking Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel — a medieval masterpiece rising above the tides of Normandy.

Step inside one of France’s most extraordinary historic landmarks. This immersive 4K tour takes you through the Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel, an ancient monastery perched atop the iconic island fortress. From its church and cloister to its vast underground crypts and engineering marvels, this journey captures the full wonder of the Mount’s spiritual and architectural heart.

Walk through the abbey’s medieval stone chambers, explore the airy Gothic cloister, stand beneath the towering pillars of the Crypt of the Giant Pillars, and see the enormous wooden wheel once used by monks to lift supplies from ground level.

The tour also ventures through shadowed corridors, private monastic rooms, and the grand Salle des Hôtes (Host's Room), where nobles and pilgrims were once received. Outside, we explore the base of the abbey, old defensive fortifications, and sweeping views toward Chapelle du Saint-Aubert.

Finally, experience the abbey illuminated at night — a golden beacon above the tidal sands.
