The museum that traces the history of Mont Saint-Michel

The Musée Historique du Mont Saint-Michel is a real journey back in time. It plunges you into the fascinating twists and turns of the Mont's past, from its religious origins to its role as a prison during the Revolution. Among ancient weapons, torture instruments, statues, manuscripts and reconstructed cells, you'll discover a sometimes little-known face that is at once spiritual, military and political. The tour is immersive and accessible, appealing to the curious, whether history buffs or simple explorers. Each piece on display tells the story of an era, a use, a transformation of the site. When you leave, you'll never look at the walls of the Mont in the same way again: they become witnesses to a long, lively and often surprising history.
