Getting to Mont-Saint-Michel from Paris

On a day trip the coach takes you there and back, so you do not have to organise anything. Mont-Saint-Michel is 337 km from Paris by road. If you prefer to go on your own, you can combine a train and a bus.

Mont-Saint-Michel: Admission and Transport from Paris

With a day trip

Each tour has its own meeting point in Paris, and the tours in this list do not include hotel pickup. The meeting point, the time and the language of the guide are on the page of each tour and on your ticket.

At the Mont, the car parks are about 2.5 km from the rock. From there you take the free shuttle, which takes about 12 minutes, or walk along the 2.2 km causeway.

On your own, by train and bus

From Paris Montparnasse, take the TGV to Rennes, about 2 hours, and then a bus to the Mont, about 1 hour 10 to 1 hour 15. You can also go by train to Pontorson, 9 km from the Mont, and take bus line 2, about 27 minutes.

Bus times change, so check them before you leave. The train and bus journey is longer than a day trip, and you have to plan the return too.

By car

From Paris, take the A13 towards Caen and then the A84 towards Avranches and Rennes. Cars park about 2.5 km from the rock, and a free shuttle takes you to the foot of the Mont.
