TRANSPORTATION
The best way to reach Le Mont-Saint-Michel is by Paris. Then, you go to Rennes by TGV train (2 hours) or by plane (one hour, but there are very few flights on Sunday, ). A bus shuttle is organized to drive you from Rennes to Le Mont-Saint-Michel.

buying the ticket.
How to go from Rennes to Le Mont-Saint-Michel (and back)
A special bus will depart from the Rennes railway station around 6:45 p.m., and will arrive at Mont-Saint-Michel at about 7:45 p.m.
On Thursday September 18, a special bus will leave Mont-Saint-Michel after lunch to catch the TGV leaving Rennes at 3:15 p.m. and arriving at Paris Montparnasse at 5:20 p.m. (TGV number 8742).
Our suggestion :
On Sunday September 14, there is a TGV from the Paris Montparnasse railway station that leaves at 4:20 p.m. and arrives at 6:33 p.m. (TGV number 8647). Catch this train and then the DX shuttle !
Just in case:
If you can't take this special bus on Sunday evening, Mont-Saint-Michel
can also be reached by taking the train from Rennes to Pontorson (direction
Caen).
At Pontorson, take a taxi to Mont-Saint-Michel (a distance of 8km approximately).

Mont-Saint-Michel is located 201 miles W of Paris ; 80 miles SW of Caen ; 30 miles E of St-Malo.
From Paris take the highway A13 towards Rouen. Then the N175 to Avranches. Then follow Le-Mont-Saint-Michel. Minimum 4 hours'drive.
CLIMATE
The weather is often pleasant with mild temperatures. However, as the
weather is very changeable, it might
be windy and cool sometimes.
