The route given by Riostar is the most direct. I hadn't thought of Dinan, because it was not on the route, but it is lovely and I would also recommend it.
Would you agree?? I have not been to Fougeres, but others rate it well as a pretty place. Might be worth a stop off if none of the other suggested places appeal to you:. Worth doing while you're spending a few days in Brittany but probably not on the same day that you are doing Caen to MSM. If you're staying in the area I would link it in with a trip to perhaps Rennes , which has a lovely old quarter.

On your way up, stop at the cemetery to enjoy a panorama of the sea around.
During the tour of the abbey, you can visit the areas for receiving pilgrims and religious rooms such as the church and crypts, as well as the areas dedicated to the everyday life of the monks, such as the cloisters and refectory. The restaurant dates back to and is known for the wall of autographs from over a century of famous diners, including Ernest Hemingway and Yves Saint Laurent.
A drink can be enjoyed in the piano bar, overlooking the Bay of the Mont Saint Michel. At the end of the day, leave the village and wait for the sunset.
The crowds are mostly gone by then and you will have the moment to yourself. It is a magical sight. For us, staying at Mont Saint Michel France was one of a kind experience that I do not recommend to repeat. It was a hot sunny evening when we arrived at the parking lot. When we realized we were 20 minutes away by a bus shuttle from our hotel, we had to repack and take with us only what was needed for one night.
As you may imagine, it was a slight difference in what each of us considered basic necessities. The bus looked brand new but I guess it was not hot enough for the French to turn AC on.
It was long 20 minutes to hold on to our suitcases and not to faint from the heat. For some unknown reason, the shuttle stops in quite a distance from the village. It was a long walk just to get to the bottom of it. There were no signs leading us to our hotel, so we begin to question ourselves if we were at the right stop.
Our male friend, a true gentleman, offered to check things out. He took his luggage and left. He was gone for at least an hour. As it turned out, he had a hard time to find our hotel. When he finally got there, he was told that the check-in was at another hotel.
That meant negotiating more steps and enduring the heat trapped between the thick walls of the village. When he returned, he looked exhausted but now his mission was to help three ladies and their luggage to reach the hotel. Again, a steep hill and cobblestones! The hotel room had a small double bed and a tiny bathroom and it felt like an oven!
Opening the window did not help much, as it was facing a wall just a foot away. The air was trapped. With the hope that it will eventually cool down, we quickly went out to find something to eat. It was around 10 PM and most restaurants were closing and had no food to serve.
