Tips

Hiking

The King's Gate was built in the 15th century as part of the extensive fortifications that made Mont Saint-Michel a virtually impregnable fortress during the Hundred Years' War. Behind the simple stone architecture lies a sophisticated defense system: The gate was once secured by a drawbridge, a portcullis, and several locking mechanisms. Attackers attempting to conquer the Mont had to break through several gates one after the other.
