Set off for a day trip that allows you to
design your own itinerary, between the sea
and the sky! Visit one of France's most
iconic sights, the stunning UNESCO World
Heritage listed island of Mont Saint Michel
and its bay. Discover the magnificent
medieval abbey at the island's summit, a
historical masterpiece. Take advantage of
the opportunity to experience the magic of
the island and the breath-taking sight of
the Bay of Mont Saint Michel, at the mercy
of the tides.
Leave from Central Paris at 7:15 a.m. for an
exceptional day at Mont Saint Michel. Relax
on the journey by luxury air-conditioned
coach from Paris and take in the beautiful
green landscapes of the Normandy countryside
as you reach Mont Saint Michel at around 12
noon.
Visit the base of the island of Mont Saint
Michel on foot; a unique fortified rocky
outcrop, it dates back to the Middle Ages
and is surrounded by a vast bay with one of
the biggest tides in Europe. Climb right up
to the top of the island to the captivating
Benedictine abbey, which dates from the 8th
Century. A wonderful example of Gothic
architecture on three floors, it is
dedicated to the Archangel Michael. Visit
the cloister, the imposing refectory, and
the abbey's charming garden, looking out to
sea.
Make the most of your time at the abbey with
a walk along the ramparts and walls; the
landscape will take your breath away as you
breathe in the sea air. The sand stretches
as far as the eye can see at low tide and
the island is cut off by the sea at high
tide. You may also decide to spend time
visiting Mont Saint Michel's museums,
indulging in some souvenir shopping,
watching the hustle-and-bustle of village
life, or sampling local crêpes until 4:30
p.m. Return to Paris scheduled for
approximately 9:15 p.m.
