Where Mont-Saint-Michel goes after dark — bars, live music and the late ones worth staying up for.
The lit abbey
Floodlit after dark and visible for miles across the bay. The walk back along the causeway is the show.
Night openings
The abbey runs evening visits with music in the halls during the summer months. Check the dates before travelling.
La Caserne
The hotel and bar cluster by the car park, and the only late drinking within reach on foot.
Stargazing over the bay
Almost no light once you are away from the Mont, and the horizon is flat in every direction.
Pontorson
The nearest town with a station, a short bus ride south, and the practical place to sleep cheaply.
