Experience an exceptional day at Mont-Saint-Michel in the company of an enthusiastic guide. Discover the history and the riches of this "Wonder of the West" through enthusiastic commentary.
Welcomed by our guide and the driver, you'll board our air-conditioned coach from the center of Paris, with a scheduled departure at 7:15 am.
The approximately 4-hour journey will allow you to admire the beautiful landscapes of the French countryside as they pass before your eyes. The trip will be punctuated by presentations from your guide about the day’s itinerary, the Normandy landscapes and Mont-Saint-Michel. You will be able to take a break during a 20-minute stop along the way.

You'll arrive at your destination at around 11:45 am. You'll then board a shuttle bus taking you right to the edge of the village of Mont-Saint-Michel. 

Our guide will explain how this emblematic French site has been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage list and present the island's attractions as you climb the Grande Rue leading up to the top of the Mont. Then, he will take you to the magnificent Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture dedicated to the Archangel Saint-Michel.
This Benedictine abbey is uniquely beautiful, just like its superb cloisters with their peaceful atmosphere. Its dark corridors contrast with the incredible light illuminating its newly remodeled central garden. You will walk through the various rooms of the abbey, spread over three floors, imagining the daily life of the monks. You'll see the cellar where the provisions were stored, admire the majestic chimneys of the Salle des hôtes (visitors' dining room) and the immense refectory where the monks shared their meals. After your visit to the abbey, you'll have a chance to admire the exceptional view across the bay of the bay from the top of this magnificent rocky peak.

Afterwards, you’ll have free time to wander through the authentic medieval village. You'll be amazed by the charming view of Mont-Saint-Michel emerging from above the historic traffic-free streets. The ramparts of this magnificent fortress will provide you with a fantastic panorama of the sea. During your walk, you can also stop off in souvenir shops or taste specialties such as the famous Breton crêpe pancake or biscuits from Mère Poulard.

With these images fresh in your mind, you'll meet up again with your guide for a 4:30 pm departure for Paris. The scheduled time of arrival back at our Paris office is around 9:45 pm, depending on traffic conditions.
