Discoveries and adventures
Visit the Moidrey Mill near Mont-Saint-Michel
Located in Pontorson, the Moidrey Mill is a former windmill built in 1806, restored in the early 2000s and now back in operation. A tour offers visitors the chance to discover how it works in the traditional way, including the wooden mechanisms, the cogs and the millstones used to grind grain into flour. The miller demonstrates his craft and explains how the force of the wind drives the sails and, in turn, the entire mechanism of the mill. Situated on high ground, the site also offers a a beautiful view over the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel and the surrounding agricultural landscapes. This activity can easily complement the others Things to do around Mont-Saint-Michel during your stay at Le Clos Saint-Gilles.

Picturesque B&B with incredible hosts!
Tatiana and Thibault's bed and breakfast exceeded our expectations. The rooms and shared communal area were extremely tidy and well cared for and the property itself is breathtaking. There are several paths to walk through beautifully manicured gardens, a view of Monte Michel Street, and several sitting areas and patio sets for guests to relax and enjoy a glass of wine after a day of exploring.
Hélène
Two perfect nights. Our room (Pivoine) was large, bright and elegant, with quality bedding. The breakfasts were copious, home-cooked and varied. Thibault and Tatiana are really pleasant and attentive, it's a family place! Many thanks to them!
Thierry
Thibault and Tatiana not only impress with their vast, beautiful garden, but also with a breakfast made with ingredients from the garden. What's more, her tips on travelling and eating in the area are extremely useful!
Viv
A magical stay!
We had the most wonderful stay at Le Clos Saint - Gilles and can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed as old friends rather than guests. Tatiana and Thibault are among the kindest, warmest and most generous hosts we have ever met.
