Accommodation

La Vieille Auberge offers 11 rooms spread across two traditional annexes named 'La Queue de Renard' and 'La Corne de Blin'. 'La Queue de Renard' features rooms with terraces and stunning views of Mont Saint Michel Bay. 'La Corne de Blin' provides standard accommodations nestled in the historic alleys, echoing the legacy of the hotel as a welcoming spot for pilgrims.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves regional specialties showcased on a diverse menu. Guests can savor the famed Mont Saint Michel omelette, fresh seafood including oysters and mussels prepared 'marinière' or in a cream sauce. The open-air terrace adjacent to the ramparts offers a view of the abbey's spire and the beautiful bay, creating an engaging dining atmosphere.

Location

Located on the Mont Saint Michel site, La Vieille Auberge is a historical monument offering an exceptional setting overlooking the bay. The hotel is within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting over three million visitors each year. Access to the hotel requires a short walk after parking at public car park P3 on the mainland.

The menu is complemented by a selection of delicious crêpes, which can be enjoyed with various toppings.

“Staying here means embracing the unique charm of Mont-Saint-Michel itself, especially the quiet magic after the daytime crowds depart. The rooms provide essential amenities, but the real draw is the chance to immerse yourself in this medieval village. I think it's a worthwhile choice for those prioritizing location and atmosphere over luxury.”
