From June 15, the Mont Saint Michel Abbey is open to the public. It is mandatory to wear a mask on the island and in the monastery. The island's one-way streets have been lifted, and many souvenir shops and restaurants have resumed operations, regaining their liveliness as before. From July, further restaurants and hotels are expected to resume operations.
We are developing a new tour that takes into account the reservation system of the monastery and the shuttle bus with a limited number of passengers. With a Japanese assistant/guide, we will make a tour that you can enjoy sightseeing with peace of mind.
In France, the second phase of deregulation began in June 2nd. Cafés, restaurants and bars have also been permitted to reopen throughout France. The Ile-de-France region still needs special attention, so it is possible to open on the terrace only. When using public transportation, wearing a mask in the car is mandatory.
Mont Saint Michel is crowded with many tourists, especially locals. The monastery remains closed to the public, but souvenir shops and some takeaway stores have resumed operations. The tidal flat tour will be resumed, and more tourists are expected to visit for the summer.
On Monday, May 11, France began a gradual easing of curfew restrictions. Along with that, tourism in Mont-Saint-Michel has resumed, and is gradually regaining its original vibrancy. While taking the hygiene control measures announced by the government, measures are being taken to ensure safe tourism.
Many French have visited Mont Saint-Michel since the restrictions on outing were relaxed. With the exception of the monastery open to the public, restaurants, cafes and hotels, there are several souvenir shops and shops where you can take out galettes and ice cream. It is mandatory to wear a mask on the shuttle bus between the parking lot and Mont Saint Michel and on the island.
Our tour is currently not available, but we are considering a tour that can be done while fully observing the rules set by Mont Saint Michel when the trip resumes in the future. For example, in order to take a social distance with people, there is a one-way road with a round-trip route to the monastery on the island.
