La Mère Poulard

La Mère Poulard

8/10 Good
"I was very excited to stay 2 nights inside the walls of Mont Saint Michel and in the historic inn of La Mere Poulard. Our room was small but cozy. The window was overlooking the marsh and the causeway. The view was spectacular and heavenly. The breakfast was substantial and good. I love the freshly made baguette specially with the Normandie butter. For the price, I was disappointed the room did not provide lotion, specially during fall season when the air was dry. The restaurant was very pricey. We had 2 entrees , a main, a dessert, and a beer for a total cost of Eur 92. I would have wanted to try their famous omelette but it was so expensive that I just had to skip it. It was Eur45-65 for one order , depending on the toppings. For a relaxing travel, 2 nights wasenough for us . but"
