Description for B&B:

Welcome to the Priory of Saint Michel of the Clock, a historic site located atop Mount Saint Michel at an elevation of 292 meters above sea level. We offer comfortable rooms and lounges for your enjoyment, as well as a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of the Massif Central. You can have a glimpse of our enchanting surroundings in this video: [link to YouTube video].

Curiosity surrounds the priory's cellars, as some speculate they may hold treasures from the Templars. The monks who built their homes here certainly had an eye for beauty, and their choice continues to bring joy to visitors even after a thousand years. Surrounded by lush woods and meadows, our agro-tourism site is gradually becoming an agricultural haven, complete with sheep, farmyard animals, and a thriving garden and orchard. The forests are alive with deer, deer, and wild boar, and the absence of modern buildings on the horizon adds to the charm.

Open year-round, the priory offers five double rooms, each recently renovated and located on the upper floor (priced at 75 per night for two people). The rooms are simple yet comfortable, featuring showers and washbasins, with separate toilet facilities upstairs. The spacious layout of the priory includes two lounges, providing ample space for play and relaxation. Families can also be accommodated together thanks to the arrangement of the rooms.

For guests with reduced mobility, we are happy to offer a ground floor room with a bathroom upon request. Additionally, we have a beautiful garden that is open for your enjoyment, and the mobile network coverage is excellent throughout the premises.

If you wish to dine with us, we offer a meal option for 19.5 per person, excluding drinks. Our overall capacity is 10 people, and catering services can be arranged upon request. We strive to keep our rates affordable, making the priory accessible to a diverse range of guests. We also provide language support in French, German, English, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, and Bulgarian.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Priory of Saint Michel of the Clock, where history, tranquility, and natural beauty converge.
