Five kilometres from Mont-Saint-Michel, on the continent, is the first priory of the abbey, which had more than 50 priories throughout Europe. Historically the Abbey’s granary, the resting place of the monks and the welcoming place of the pilgrims of the Mont, known as the Miquelots, the Priory, located on Ardevon, comes alive, under the impetus of the Fondation du Mont-Saint-Michel: in addition to the reception in dormitory or bivouac of groups that come to discover the Mont-Saint-Michel and its bay, the Priory develops cultural and spiritual proposals throughout the year, open to all.
As a pre-visit gift, the film "En route vers le Mont-Saint-Michel":

About the location

Prieuré du Mont Saint-Michel

2 rue du Prieuré Ardevon, 50170 Pontorson

Manche
Normandie

A few kilometres away from the Mont-Saint-Michel is the priory of Ardevon, historically the back base(basis) of the Mont-Saint-Michel. From now on a few years, the Foundation of the Mont-Saint-Michel has as objective to renovate this place, left for years without interview(maintenance), to restore it its first role: a place of welcome(reception) and of culture bound(connected) in the Mont-Saint-Michel. Besides welcome(reception) in dormitory or in bivouac of groups which come discover the Mont-Saint-Michel and its bay(berry), the priory of Ardevon shelters gatherings and conferences on the Mont-Saint-Michel and will soon receive in its walls a library(bookcase) devoted to the Mont-Saint-Michel. The role of the Foundation of the Mont-Saint-Michel is therefore to fall in the priory of Ardevon all its utility in connection with the Mont-Saint-Michel while respecting its role, its history(story) and its architecture of origin.
