Mont St. Michel Hotel Review
Mont St. Michel Hotel Review
Hotel Terrasses Poulard
Mont St. Michel, France
Price: $-$$$
Travels with Friends Charm Rating: 61
Details- This
hotel is located on the Mont itself, which is a true treat if you are
visiting this unusual location. There are only a few hotels on the Mont
and this is our pick for the best. Keep in mind the
real experience is staying on the Mont itself, not your room. Exploring
the Mont after the hoards of tourists leave is magical. At high tide the
tourists who are not staying on the Mont must leave because the parking
lot is flooded. The lobby of the hotel is mid-way up the Mont
and is small and dark. After check in you will probably never see it again
since the rooms are located in several buildings further up the hill. The
halls of the hotel are filled with pictures of famous guests and posters from movies;
a little tacky, but it adds to the unusual charm. You have the option of bay views or village views. You pay
more, but a bay view room is a must because the unique nature of the tide, one
of the fastest rising and lowering tides in the world. The rooms are average
in size and appearance, some have large non-working stone fireplaces.
Notes-
Quotes- "Fantastic view of the tide from our room. Accommodations are small and slightly worn but you go to Mont St Michel for the view, not the room." Linda T., Carmichael, CA, June 2003
"Sitting in our room and watching the tide rush into the bay and surround the Mont in a matter of minutes was an amazing experience." Steven Hurley, October 2001.
