FROM THE ORNE TO THE MONT SAINT-MICHEL
L’Aigle between Paris and the Mont-Saint-Michel (285 km/ 177 miles).
Capital of the kingdom of France and the largest city in Europe in the Middle Ages, Paris has seen many pilgrims going to Mont Saint-Michel. They usually took the same route from the bridge of Saint-Cloud and traveled with the pilgrims of Saint Meén to Dreux. Crossing the whole of Normandy, this path, used throughout the Middle Ages and the modern era has been restored accurately with the help of various documents from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
After Dreux, the path went thru Verneuil-sur-Avre, L’Aigle, Echauffour, Exmes, Argentan, Ecouché, Pain-d'Avaine (town of Isigny-le-Buat) and Ducey.
Arrived in the bay of the Mont, into Bas-Courtils, there were only three more stops on the shore before reaching the sanctuary of the Archangel.

Also, on "The paths of Saint Michael" take a moment to visit L’Aigle. In particular you can visit the Church of St. Martin in the heart of the city. You will find on our site ADSM all details about the church and its environment: documents, events, etc ...
You, the “Miquelots” (name for the people who walk the paths of Mont Saint Michel), can then continue your way through our department (ORNE) via its numerous stud farms, the Argentanaise plain, then the “bocage” (the grove) and the country side marked by its hills near Domfront, before entering the Mortainais country side, where you will finally see the Mount.
