Description for B&B:

Welcome to the Priory of Saint Michel of the Clock, situated atop Mount Saint Michel since 1023, at an elevation of 292 meters above sea level. We offer comfortable rooms and lounges, as well as a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of the Massif Central on the horizon! Explore the cellars of the priory, which may hold some of the treasure of the Templars. The monks truly knew how to choose the most beautiful locations for their homes, and we are fortunate to enjoy their legacy even a thousand years later.

Surrounded by enchanting woods and meadows, this agro-tourism site is gradually expanding its agricultural endeavors, including sheep farming, a farmyard, a garden, and an orchard. Be prepared to encounter abundant wildlife in the nearby forests, such as deer, stag, and wild boar. No modern buildings mar the natural beauty on the horizon.

The priory is open throughout the year and offers five double rooms, each priced at €75 per night for two people. These simple yet renovated rooms are located on the upper floor and feature showers and washbasins. The toilets are separate, with three located upstairs. Two lounges separate the five bedrooms, providing space for relaxation and play. This layout also allows for families to be accommodated close to each other. Additionally, we have a ground floor room with a bathroom that can be made available for individuals with reduced mobility upon request.

We offer the option of dining at our premises for €19.50 per person, plus the cost of beverages. The priory can accommodate a total of ten people (please refer to the provided link). Catering services are available upon request.

In our efforts to make the priory accessible to a diverse range of guests, we provide services in multiple languages, including French, German, English, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, and Bulgarian. We strive to offer reasonable rates, ensuring that this magnificent priory can be enjoyed by as many people as possible.
