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.

5.00The staff were amazing! They gave us time to rest on the bus since it was an early start time. Then closest to the location they gave us a nice history lesson of the church and the surrounding areas. There happened to be a lot of people at the location itself so there didn’t seem to be enough time to really see everything and get back to the bus on time.

5.00The two guides were lovely; Ola and Matilde. Our drivers were super friend as well and provided a smooth trip. Matilde in particular, was excellent with our 12 year old son, who was very interested in French Culture and had lots of questions about Mont St. Michel. She chatted with him in French and he hung on her every word. The tour was excellent and the guides were amazing. I’d definitely recommend!
Good tour

4.00The journey to Mount St. Michel was an extremely comfortable one. The guide shared the history and walked us through the alley ways to the top. It was a great trip overall but I wish we had more time to spend there and really take in the grandeur of it all.
