Your experience

Journey through history– From Paris to Mont Saint-Michel

Leave behind the bustle of Paris and set off on a full-day tour to Mont Saint-Michel, an island steeped in history and legend. Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach through the picturesque Normandy countryside, with an expert English-speaking guide bringing the region’s past to life. Learn about the 8th-century vision of Archangel Michael that led to the Abbey’s creation and the island’s transformation into a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Upon arrival, step inside the iconic Abbey with a self-guided audio tour, exploring its grand halls, gothic spires, and serene cloisters at your own pace. During your visit, enjoy the freedom to have lunch on your own (ranging from €15-€40). Stroll through the medieval streets, visit historic sites, and take in breathtaking views of the surrounding tidal landscapes. With free time to explore, you can uncover hidden corners of the island, shop for souvenirs, or simply admire the stunning coastal scenery.

Explore, indulge, and unwind

Mont Saint-Michel offers a unique blend of history, culture, and gastronomy. Savor local flavors with a meal of fresh seafood, traditional Breton crêpes, or the famous soufflé-like omelet at La Mère Poulard. As the tides shift, watch the island’s dramatic transformation from a land bridge to an isolated fortress surrounded by water. As your journey comes to an end, relax on the return trip to Paris, reflecting on the rich history and unforgettable sights of Mont Saint-Michel.
