Book a day-trip from Paris to Mont Saint Michel - a Unesco World Heritage Island that seems to have fallen right out of a fairytale. If you love captivating French history and wonderful views, this tour is for you!
The day-trip to Mont Saint Michel starts with a pleasant ride on a bus/coach. The journey from Paris is dotted with picturesque views of the Normandy Coast. From central Paris, through the picture-postcard Normandy coast, a long relaxing drive will transport you to the magical rocky island of Mont St Michel.
Your time on Mont St. Michel begins with a delicious lunch (check itinerary for a sample menu*). Refreshed and ready to go, your guide will lead you up narrow paths to the top of the tiny village for incredible Atlantic views, while revealing its fascinating history. Retrace the steps of pilgrims of the Middle Ages to discover the famous Benedictine abbey - legend has it, the Archangel Michael appeared here to the bishop of Avranches. Hear about the extreme tides surrounding the island, giving it a fairytale feel.
With around 4 hours at this incredible place in total, you will have plenty of time to explore shops, museums and nature at your leisure. After thoroughly exploring this island, you will return to Paris in the comfortable bus/coach.
