France's Mont Saint Michel is an international treasure. The shrine to the Arch Angel Micheal was begun in 708. Today this extraordinary island is visited by 3 and one half million people each year. We stayed in Bayeux at the Churchill Hotel which arranged our tour. Bayeux is a great place to stay when visiting both the island and the D-Day beaches. We highly recommend the tour and the Churchill. http://www.hotel-churchill.fr/en.php
