Inside the fortress didn’t appear to be wheelchair accessible. It’s a steep incline to walk up. The Abby is what seems to be a couple hundred stairs. If you’re in town, to take the shuttle to where it stops on the bridge, the sight is magnificent from there as well. You’re right over the water if you’re lucky enough to catch high tide. I would have been happy just admiring it from there.

Mont Saint Michel is a tiny car-less island with a very steep walkway and lots of stairs. But there are several nice hotels a couple of kilometers away and buses that wil drop you at the entrance of the island. If you take your time you can climb a bit inside and go on the "remparts" (walls) to go down and enjoy the view (I usually go up by the walls and down by the "central" street which is approximately 2 or 3 meters large and always overcrowded). Steps are high but you can rest between flight of stairs. Nevertheless getting to the top to see the abbey might be a bit too much but you can still enjoy the view of it from the bottom or the walls (just be careful most restaurants are tourists traps : expensive, bad quality and bad service). Enjoy your stay in Normandy.

Pour le Mont St Michel je suis favorable de décrire le site, mais je ne m'aventure pas dans la restauration que je trouve à des prix excessifs et de qualité moyenne. Le groupe "la mère Poulard" a acquis plusieurs restaurants sur le mont qui diminue la concurrence. Le conseil que je peux donner est de s'éloigner du Mont pour les repas.

We caught the ferry from Portsmouth to Caen, with an overnight stop in Bayeux then onto Pontorson, where we spent one night. We then caught the bus from Pontorson train station first thing in the morning, which drops passengers off about 200 metres from the entrance to the island. The train also runs directly from Caen to Pontorson and takes around 2 hours, with no change overs. We chose the Caen route into France as we wanted to go to Bayeux. John C mentioned St Malo, which is also an option, a bus runs from there to Mont St Michel. From memory, I don't think the timetable was as flexible as the one from Pontorson, however, there is a train from St Malo to Pontorson, where you could then take the bus onto Mont St Michel.

We went to Hôtel Vert. It's near the Mont Saint Michel. The price for 2 adults is 89 eur by night. It's very clean and just in front of the bus (free) to go to the Mont Saint Michel.

Hola. Si lo que quieres es tan solo marcar en tu itinerario que has ido al Mont Saint-Michel, adelante, un par de horas te bastarán para tomar algunas fotos y tener una idea básica sobre cómo es. Si lo que quieres es realmente concerlo, no pienses en menos de 5 o 6 horas. Eso fue lo que yo estuve y me quedé con ganas de más. Omaha Beach y alrededores la visité al otro día, también en un paseo de día completo. Pero es como todo, cada uno tiene sus gustos y encuentra placer en diferentes cosas; además está el factor tiempo, que tampoco para todos es el mismo. Un consejo, sin niños en lo posible, no está pensado para ellos. Suerte.

La playa y el cementerio solo se llevan 3 horas La abadía merece un día completo Hay que entrar a la abadía La visita a la fortificación es gratis pero ni entrar a la abadía es como no ir Recomiendo disfrutar y visitar no ir corriendo a muchos sitios a tomarse fotos Saludos

My pleasure

Absolutely! We took a train from Paris (Gare du Nord) to pontorson, which is ten km away from Mont St Michel. From pontorson there's a bus that will be waiting right outside the train station (which is tiny) and take you to mint St Michel. It was a very beautiful train ride and I would definitely do it again.
