Mont Saint-Michel French Heritage

Mont Saint-Michel is one of the most symbolic monuments in the French landscape. Each year, more than three million people jostle to visit Mont Saint-Michel, a magnificent medieval setting. Everyone is fascinated by this proudly standing abbey, protected by its ramparts. Nowadays, only 44 people live there permanently, which allows this site to be so well preserved. The Mont Saint Michel is certainly one of the most popular tourist attractions in France and has been listed as a World Heritage Site UNESCO in 1979. It is the third most visited tourist site in France after the Eiffel Tower and the Palace of Versailles.

Versailles is 20 kilometres southwest of Paris city centre, across the Petit Parc and the Palace and Park of Versailles. In the 17th century, the best artisan craftsmen created a regal work of art, the last residence of Louis XVI. Ensure you’re astonished by everything you see on your visit to Versailles. From the French garden to the Hall of Mirrors, you’ll feel as if you’re part of a fairy tale.

Chartres Cathedral, one of France’s greatest Gothic masterpieces, dates to the end of the 12th century. It is located around 80 km southwest of Paris and is renowned for its enormous spires, which rise to 105 and 113 metres. The stained glass windows are also impressive.
