Join me for a journey back to a simpler time. A time when the monks of the Mont Saint-Michel Abbey lived their lives according to the scriptures and the ebb and flow of the seasons. The way this Benedictine abbey was constructed over centuries, on a remote rock facing the sea, reveals what spirituality could inspire back then. Mont Saint-Michel Abbey is breathtaking to behold and fascinating to explore. But it’s complicated and confusing too. I’ll guide you up and down its intricate stairways through hidden doors, and into halls and dungeons that’ll take you back to the Middle Ages. Within the abbey’s solid walls, we’ll discover tales of knights, castles, pious pilgrims and tortured prisoners. With this audio guide, you'll find out: • How books were written before computers and the printing press • How heavy stones were transported before the invention of engines • Why monks don't have BBQs • The truth behind the daily life of clergy in feudal society • What links jet-setters and kings A visit to the abbey is a great way to understand European history, and the importance of the Catholic Church in feudal society. And this is the perfect guide. Please note the tour does not include admission to Mont Saint-Michel Abbey.
