What To Expect
Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel
This tour transports you from Paris to the magical abbey-crowned island of Mont Saint-Michel, one of the most iconic sights in all of France, aboard a private bus. Offering you a hassle-free way to explore the island with plenty of free time ensuring you do not have to adhere to a rigid sightseeing schedule. As you approach the Mount Saint-Michel, your guide will provide insight on the UNESCO-listed island. Listen to interesting anecdotes about the history of the abbey, whilst admiring the views of the island and the surrounding region of Normandy Mont Saint-Michel began humbly enough in the eighth century, when – citing orders from Archangel Michael himself – a bishop built a church on this small and secluded rock island, which later expanded during the medieval era, attracting an increasingly large number of pilgrims.
Mont-Saint-Michel
You can then choose from some of the many options for lunch, ranging from dining rooms serving rustic meat-focused fare to sophisticated restaurants with bay-view terraces specializing in seafood. Alternatively, you can stop by one of Mont Saint-Michel’s crêperies and feast on galettes (buckwheat pancakes) paired with Normandy cider, for a more casual and characteristically Breton feed. In the late afternoon, re-board the bus for the return journey to Paris, which will see passengers back in the City of Lights well in advance of bedtime.

3.00Location is amazing, it’s a hike from the structure back to the bus parking lot. Loved the building and experience, but the tour guide was not good. No history of the site, and extremely poor directions for getting back to the bus. Just not the quality I expected.
Great trip

4.00Be prepared for long bus ride. The Guides were very knowledgeable and friendly, HOWEVER there was a lot of traffic and then long lines entering MSM when made our time at MSM even shorter. Because the bus driver is only allowed so long of a work day, there was no way to extend our time on the Mont. I would suggest to NEVER go in August and check the tides before going if you want experience walking o the sand. You will need an additional guide for that.

5.00Our experience of Mont St. Michael with Laurence and Asma was so fun. They were constantly feeding us information and facts during our ride to and from Normandy about Paris, Normandy, Mont St. Michel, and other places as well. They were kind and made sure that everyone knew that they were there to help.
