Horseback Riding at Mont Saint Michel, Mont-Saint-Michel
Overview
Start with a welcome coffee or a cold soft drink, then meet your guides. After getting acquainted with your horse and fitted with the appropriate gear, head out into the surf. As you ride, enjoy learning about this unique property, which has roots back to 708 CE. The Archangel St. Michel ordered Aubert, the bishop of Avranches, to build a sanctuary on this location. It then became a Benedictine abbey and even a prison during the French Revolution.
