The site within 45 mn drive from the Hotel Mercure Granville "Le Grand Large"...

Witness to almost 13 centuries of history, the Abbey is a sacred place of pilgrimage for Christians. Its construction, an extraordinary example of religious and military architecture, began at Saint Michel in 708. A jump into a unique medieval universe...

The "Wonder", a huge building sheltering the cloister, the monks refectory, the Host's room, the scriptorium, the storeroom and the chaplaincy is a suberb example of Gothic Art...
