Thanks to a tip, we parked the car at the military cemetery and cycled to Mont St. Michel. Without stress right up to the foot of the abbey, there is official bicycle parking. A wonderful tour.

You can cycle to Klosterberg—but... the bus drivers don't like it and ask you to use the wider pedestrian/cycle path. This is impossible, however, because pedestrians completely occupy it...much to our annoyance with children.

At the abbey itself, there's an archway to your left where about 70 bikes can be parked—but it gets complicated with the cart behind. We …
