Auberge St-Pierre,
Mont-St-Michel
The 15th-century
auberge
is one of a handful of
hotels at the foot of
Mont St-Michel and close
to the causeway (useful,
since all cars have to be
left outside its walls).
There is a large, busy
restaurant at street level,
while on the first floor, a
pleasantly rustic calm
takes over.
