Traditional Sable cookies from the Mont Saint Michel
The famous omelet and
the flavorful cookies
of Mont Saint Michel have
contributed to
la mère Poulard's fame.
The contemporary renown of la Mère Poulard and that of Mont Saint Michel are intimately related.

At the end of the 19th century, the bronze arrow over the statue of Saint Michel gives Mont Saint Michel its current shape while the sea-wall route links the rock isle to the continent.

The small train that accesses the bottom of the Wonder of the Western world and the automobile helped to bring tourists to the site, the new pilgrims of modern times.

The reputation of la Mère Poulard grew, as attested to by the three thousand-five hundred portraits and autographs of celebrities from the world of art, theater, cinema, sport, economy, and politics, adorning the hotel walls.
