Mont St Michel - Access By Bike
« on: 23 May, 2017, 03:01:56 pm »
Anyone ridden to Mont St Michel lately?

Access has changed a number of times over the years.  Is it now permissible to cycle the access road (that the shuttle-bus uses) to the base?

I don't want to go in but I'd like to get close without leaving my bike at the car-park and getting the shuttle.
Some people say I'm self-obsessed but that's enough about them.

From the bienvenue website

"Indeed, bicycles are authorised on the green path - on the wooden planking west of the walkway (measures ensuing from the municipal decree of the town of Mont-Saint-Michel dated 01/12/2014):

from 1 October to 30 April, 24 hours a day.
from 1 May to 30 September, before 10am and after 6pm.
Parking your bicycles is strictly prohibited all along the dyke walkway, the esplanade and at the foot of the fortification. Cyclists are thus required to leave their bicycles in the designated areas and to pursue their trip towards the town on foot or using the shuttles.
"

I had heard this via word of mouth as well - so early or late and no stopping should be fine.

Mont St Michel is best viewed from a distance of about 3-5 miles away  :)
