Hello there! Glad you enjoyed it. Your wonderful comment is well appreciated 😀. Thanks for watching, and have a great day 👍
I was just in France but couldn’t make it there due to my mum having knee issues and obviously that’s the wrong place for that
Thanks for your great video I feel I had a good panorama of it
Hello there! Glad you enjoyed my video of Mont Saint-Michel. Yes, would be a place hard on weak knees. Your wonderful comment is well appreciated 😀. Thanks for watching, and have a great day 👍
Liked #130. I like the way you have yourself on the lower left. This is one of my to do list of aerial video as my bucket list, haha. Love the changing water level twice a day, great fortification. 3 million visitors a year!!! Woh!!! What month is the least amount of tourists, Jim??? Thank you!!! 😎 👍 I enjoyed this video a lot. Such a cool place to see with my own eyes, thanks Jim.
Hello friend! Glad you liked it. It took too much work to capture my "talking head" introductions with a green-screen backdrop, so I stopped doing it - Lol. Winter (December - February) has the fewest tourists at Mont St Michel, as it is also colder. Thanks for watching, your wonderful comment and support. 😀 Take care and enjoy your weekend 👍
@@HaswellTravelled I totally understand about too much work. I am trying to simplfy as much as I can. I had a feeling during winter months, but that north during winter, one can imagine how cold it must be. Thank you for your info...good summer
Very nice place and beautiful scenery.
Mont Saint-Michel is so great.
It's a place I really want to go someday.
Full view and Big liked.
Have a happy Sunday...👍👍
Glad you liked it! Your wonderful comment is well appreciated 😀. Thanks for watching, and have a great day 👍
Mont Saint-Michel is one of my absolute travel bucket list dream items. I'm more than a little jealous that you got to visit here. It's such a stunning place, words can barely even describe it! Great video!!!
Glad you liked it. When I first showed a picture of Mont St Michel to my wife, she was determined we visit it. So we included it in a driving trip through France which we really enjoyed - videos posted are from that trip. Take care and enjoy your weekend. 😀👍
This beautiful place, which I have not yet been to, is like Venice.
Tomorrow at around 6 pm, thousands of tourists arrive and then all disappear again in the evening. So you can have a wonderful walk in the evening and in the dark.
Thank you for this wonderful and informative video.
Have a nice weekend and best regards, Anita
Glad you liked it! It was a favorite of ours too. I also liked inside the Abbey which was a follow-up video. Thanks for watching, your wonderful comment and support. 😀 Take care and enjoy your day👍
Hi Jim! I thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic video of the tour of Mont Saint - Michel Hill Town and the night walk. As always, love to listen to you telling the story. Beautifully made video. Big thumbs up.
Hi Molly! Glad you liked it - It was one of our favorite places. Your wonderful comment is well appreciated 😀. Thanks for watching, and have a great weekend 👍
Nice hotel in a beautiful place. The Mont Saint Michel is a wonderful place, we went the last year and we loved it! Good job, the video is excellent!!, I have subscribed, have a nice day
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and your sub. I sub'd your channel in return 😀 Have a great week 👍
@@HaswellTravelled what hotels are there and general cost. This looks like a medieval castle movie set. I think I want to live there.
beautiful, the place looks like a setting for a fairytale movie hehe
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, stay safe and take care 😀👍
Very special place and wonderful presentation! 👍👍24👍👍
Unfortunately, I went there 13 years ago for only one hour.
Best wishes from Greece.
Hello friend! Glad you liked it. Mont Saint-Michel is a beautiful place, and one of our most memorable destinations in France. I'm glad you got to spend more time there with my video. Your wonderful comment is well appreciated 😀. Thanks for watching, and have a great day 👍
I've driven past here but never had the chance to visit properly
Glad you liked it! You can also enjoy it at night without staying at an island hotel - the shuttle buses run until quite late from the mainland village. Your wonderful comment is well appreciated 😀. Thanks for watching, and have a great day 👍
Beautiful video, my friend! Congratulations! Best regards! Like 13

@@HaswellTravelled You are welcome, my friend! Have a great day too!
Hi Ji m, just watched this masterpiece, shame Google limited it to 720 but it was still great stuff. A magnificent location that was worth the effort.
Hi Steve. Glad you enjoyed Mont St Michel - good choice. Its Abbey is good too. I'm happy you are enjoying my channel as much as you are. Many of the videos take a lot of work, and your enjoyment makes it worthwhile. Take care my friend! 😀
Jim, I noticed that but results speak, the extra work gives professional results. Will keep exploring as time allows.
Greetings! Great walk through the mountain town of Mont Saint-Michel! Impressive night walk! Very beautiful content of the video! You made part of my dream come true! Now I know it's worth going there to feel the atmosphere of those times! Great job my friend! Great mood to you and your family! Ahead there are many unexplored things!😃👍
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, your wonderful comment and support. 😀 Take care and enjoy your day👍

very interesting place. its so nice to visit/ the cemetery doesnt look creeppy or scary
Glad you liked it. Yeah, the cemetery was quiet - even at night - Lol. Thanks for watching and your support. Take care 😀👍
@@HaswellTravelled 🤗😊
Lovely and informative video. Do you have any recommendations on where to stay? We were thinking of staying in St. Malo. But it seems you actually stayed at the base of Mont St Michel.
Hi there! Glad you enjoyed my Mont St Michele video. We stayed on the island at La Vielle Auberge - checked in at the restaurant, and they put us in a room up the hill near the base of the Abbey. It is more expensive to stay on the island. Many people stay on the mainland and ride the shuttle back and forth. I believe the shuttle is free and runs without interruption from 7:30am to midnight - so you can still walk around after sundown and ride the shuttle back (just don't miss the last shuttle - you have to walk out to the bridge to catch it heading back). Be sure to see the Abbey - I loved it - and have a separate video on it: ruclips.net/video/je5H4lAjGsI/видео.html
We didn't visit St Malo, although I wish we did - it also looks like a beautiful spot. Thanks for watching and take care 😀👍
I really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!@@HaswellTravelled
Great video! What music is that around 7:50?
HI! Glad you enjoyed it. The music around 7:50 is from RUclips Audio Library: At Rest - Romance by Kevin MacLeod, also mentioned in my description. Enjoy your weekend 😀 - Jim
Thought that goofy Snow White and the Huntsman was filmed here, but i was wrong.
OH, by the way......... FIRST!
Hi Lance. Not sure where that was filmed. And, yes, you are the first to comment - lol. Hoped you enjoyed Mont St Michel though! :-)
My husbund was 1000 in your Channel. The subs is here. I hope to improve my English with your narration. I don't have a Channel.
Welcome, and I'm glad you like my narration. I have included captions which you can use. Thanks for watching, stay safe and take care 😀👍
Am a newer fan of your videos! I’m beginning to plan a trip to France. Do you recommend 1 or 2 night stay here? I want plenty of time to see it all and enjoy the island. Thanks in advance!!!!
Welcome and glad you enjoyed my Mont Saint-Michel video! I suggest you spend 2 nights here to see as much as you can. 2 nights also helps in case you get poor weather on one of the days. Your wonderful comment is well appreciated 😀. Thanks for watching, and enjoy your visit there 👍
@@HaswellTravelled thanks so much!!
If you are able, I also suggest a visit to Dinan - a fabulous walled medieval old town about 1 hour drive SE of Mont Saint-Michel: ruclips.net/video/mr8f1HWOfaI/видео.html
We visited Dinan in the morning prior to driving to Mont St Michel in the afternoon. We liked it very much and wished we had spent a night in Dinan as well. Enjoy your trip!
@@HaswellTravelled Appreciate the tip! I've also watched your video on Dinan. It's early enough for me to create a good itinerary and possibly add this one. Also, have Honfleur on my list and have watched your video on that as well! You've been very helpful so far! How many days do you suggest in Honfleur? Thanks again!
Hi. Nice you are also going to Honfleur. One night would probably do if you spend a full day there. Check out its small museums if you like that sort of thing (we didn't have time - but I wish we did). If you have a car and stay longer, maybe consider a side day-trip to Etretat (we didn't have time ourselves). Doing so, you may spend an extra night or two. We miss France!
I plan to book a stay in the cheapest lowest quality hotel on this island, and spend night exploring these enchanted streets while they are empty!! Can anyone share any information on how many hotels are on the island itself, and what a standard nightly cost would be?
Hi there! From what I see with hotel searches, there are no budget hotels on the island, and prices in October would be around 175 to 245 Euros a night, and more expensive during high season. However, you can also enjoy the island at night without staying at an island hotel - the shuttle buses run until quite late from the mainland village - where they are lower priced (such as 80 Euros/night in October for Hotel Gabriel), also more during higher season. Just be sure not to miss the last bus from the island, and give yourself ample time to walk to the bus stop on the bridge 😀. Thanks for watching, and have a great day 👍
@@HaswellTravelled Thanks! Well I suppose my next question is what would happen if I miss the last shuttle bus? Would I be allowed to wonder the island till dawn without having to worry? You see my main objective is to stay outside and embrace the ghost town through out the night. Hence the hotel incase I simply get too sleepy!
Hi there! Honestly, I don't know the answer to your question. I would guess you are stuck on the island until next shuttle in the morning, but I'm not the expert on this. If you do go, be sure to have a flashlight as some walking paths & stairsways are very dark at night - and carry extra batteries if you think you could be out there for many hours. Hope you get to visit this amazing place. Be sure to visit the abbey too which I really enjoyed - I also have a video on it: ruclips.net/video/je5H4lAjGsI/видео.html
Take care!
What is the name of the hotel shown in the video, near the church, and would you recommend it?
Hi. The hotel we stayed at was "La Vielle Auberge". It is a bit pricy but we wanted to stay on the island. We liked it - no complaints. Check in and out is at the restaurant. Our room, as you saw in the video, was in a smaller stone building closer to the base of the Abbey. Pack lightly as it is hard to carry suitcases up inside Mont St Michele. We left our larger suitcase in the car at the parking lot (for 2 nights), and took a smaller case up to Mont St Michele. If you stay on the mainland with less expensive hotels, there is a free shuttle bus that runs from morning until evening (check times for time of year). The parking lot is also on the mainland, and the shuttle takes you to Mont St Michel. You will enjoy it when you go. If you liked my video, feel free to share it with your friends who may be interested. Take care.
@@HaswellTravelled Thank you, helpful information and great videos.
