Vacajoe,Walked numerous Caminos and now looking at the eight stages between Caen and Mont Saint Michel in France. Has anyone walked that specific route? I have resource pages but would love first-hand info from someone who has physically completed it.
I want to do the same so help me understand. What will you do between Santiago and Caen or MSM? Will you be walking or taking a train or.......? ~ Thank youThis is fantastic! After The Camino Frances, my plans were to go to Mont St Michel anyway! Who knew I'd just be continuing the journey?!?
I like this map :Here is a link to a French group supporting pilgrims to MSM.: https://www.lescheminsdumontsaintmichel.com/spip/index.php
A friend who's walking with me and I plan to either take a train or fly from Santiago to Rennes, and from there the train to Caen. We both want to visit Mont St Michel, but as of now, I don't know if we'll walk from Caen to MSM or just take a bus. Our husbands are meeting us in Santiago and neither of them are inclined to walk long distances like my friend and I, so I don't know how it will all work out. But I'd love to walk through Normandie if possible; it's incredibly lovely!I want to do the same so help me understand. What will you do between Santiago and Caen or MSM?

Thank you - didn't know that.Mont-Saint-Michel is a local and regional pilgrimage destination, and there is a whole network of hiking paths between Caen and there.

There is a bus from Rennes to MSM - easy and inexpensive, and says you the trip all the way to Caen. You to visit Caen AFTER MSM! I highly encourage you to rent a car, though, if possible, as Normandie is full of history - religious, medieval, WWII, and so on. Driving is by far the easiest way around and in the Fall of 2021, we found the roads fairly empty and parking available even in the bigger cities.fly from Santiago to Rennes, and from there the train to Caen
That's good to know! Although I've visited Normandy before, I've never been to MSM, and there's always more I'd love to see beyond MSM. Thank you so much for the recommendation as to where to stay - it looks like a French fairytale auberge.There is a bus from Rennes to MSM - easy and inexpensive, and says you the trip all the way to Caen.

Finally, I highly recommend Appletree Gites (www.appletreehillgites.fr) if you want a place to stay that is central to everything you’d like to see there. Accommodations for couples as well as large groups (and even a “pilgrims’ room since it’s on the route from Caen And served as one hundreds of years ago!!!), the owners are from England and quite lovely.
We are about to embark on this route - after much planning and research. it will be done as a pilgrimage in May 2024.
