The Mont Saint Michel bay

You’ll be free to climb up to the summit of the island to the fascinating Benedictine Abbey, dating from the 8th century. The commentary will introduce you to the history of this church, dedicated to the Archangel Saint Michael. You’ll also be given an explanation of the construction of this jewel of Gothic architecture, built on three levels. You’ll discover the cloisters, Abbey's imposing refectory and its authentic garden overlooking the sea.

You can tour the site at your own pace, following the ramparts and climbing the perimeter walkway. Your walk through the village will be sprinkled with commentaries on the various points of interest located around the village. Marvel at the breathtaking landscape and take a lungful of real sea air! You’ll be lost in admiration… at the sand stretching away as far as the eye can see at low tide, or the sea surrounding the island at high tide. 

You will leave Mont around 4 :30 pm to arrive in Paris around 9:30 pm.
