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. Our priory offers comfortable rooms and lounges for your enjoyment. Additionally, we provide a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of the Massif Central on the horizon! If you're intrigued by the mysteries of the past, you may wonder if our priory's cellars hold any of the treasure of the Templars. The monks who resided here always had a knack for choosing the most beautiful locations to build their homes, unbeknownst to them that they would bring joy to us even a thousand years later.

Surrounded by enchanting woods and meadows, our agro-tourism site has gradually developed its agricultural aspect, housing sheep, farmyard animals, gardens, and orchards. The surrounding forests are teeming with wildlife such as deer, deer, and wild boar, and not a single modern building disrupts the natural beauty of the horizon.

We are open year-round and offer five double rooms in the priory. The garden is also open for guests to explore. We have recently renovated our simple yet comfortable rooms, which are located on the upper floor and cost €75 per night for two people. Each room is equipped with a shower and washbasin, and the toilets are conveniently separate (three of them are located upstairs). The spacious layout of the priory allows for two lounges between the bedrooms, providing ample space for play and relaxation. Families can also enjoy the convenience of staying close to one another.

If you require a room on the ground floor with a bathroom, we can accommodate individuals with reduced mobility upon request.

Dining options are available, with a cost of €19.5 per person plus beverages. The priory has a total capacity of 10 people, and catering services can be arranged upon request.

We strive to make the priory accessible to a wide range of guests by offering moderate rates. We welcome visitors from various backgrounds and speak multiple languages, including French, German, English, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, and Bulgarian.
