Guided Tour to Mont Saint Michel from Paris

Welcomed by your guide and the driver, you'll board an air-conditioned coach from the city centre of Paris, for a scheduled departure at 7:15 am. The journey will take about 4 hours, giving you time to admire the beautiful landscapes of the French countryside paraded before your eyes.

Your guide will explain how this emblematic French site has been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage list as you climb the Grande Rue leading up to the top of the Mont and into the magnificent Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel, where you'll receive a guided tour of this flagship monument.

A masterpiece of Gothic architecture dedicated to the Archangel Saint Michel, this Benedictine abbey is uniquely beautiful, just like its superb cloisters with their peaceful atmosphere. Its dark corridors contrast with the incredible light illuminating its newly remodelled central garden.

After a one-hour visit to the abbey, your guide will lead you outside, where you'll have a chance to admire the exceptional view across the bay afforded by your vantage point at the top of this great rocky peak.

After one last commentary, our guide will give you some free time to wander through this authentic village. You'll be amazed by the charming view of Mont-Saint-Michel emerging from above the historic traffic-free streets. The ramparts of this magnificent fortress will provide you with a fantastic panorama of the sea. During your walk, you can also stop off in souvenir shops or taste specialities such as the famous Breton crêpe pancake or biscuits from Mère Poulard.

With these images fresh in your mind, you'll meet up again with your guide for a 4:30 pm departure for Paris. The scheduled time of arrival back at our Paris office is around 9:45 pm, depending on traffic conditions.
