Tickets to the Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel and the Louvre Museum with Audioguide APP

About the Louvre Museum and the Abbey

This experience combines a visit to two of France’s most emblematic cultural monuments: the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel and the Louvre Museum. The abbey, located on a rocky island off the coast of Normandy, dates back to 708 and for centuries became an important monastic and pilgrimage center. The Louvre, located in the heart of Paris, opened as a museum in 1793 and today houses one of the most important art collections in the world.

What to see during the visit

The tour allows you to discover the impressive medieval architecture of the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel with an audioguide, touring emblematic spaces such as the cloister, the monks’ refectory and the majestic Gothic rooms known as “The Wonder”. The tour is complemented by an exploration of the Louvre, which houses more than 35,000 works of art, including the famous Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, the imposing Victory of Samothrace and the classic Venus de Milo. The audioguide allows you to discover these works at your own pace.

“History is also written in stone.” – Prosper Mérimée

Curiosities

  • Mont Saint-Michel becomes an island during high tides, a natural phenomenon that historically protected the monastery from possible attacks.
  • The Louvre Museum holds more than 380,000 objects in its collections, although only a part of them are exhibited to the public due to the magnitude of its holdings.
  • The glass pyramid that gives access to the Louvre was designed by the architect I. M. Pei and inaugurated in 1989, becoming one of the contemporary architectural icons of Paris.
