Your day trip to magical Mont St. Michel, one of France’s most iconic attractions, includes return transport by air-conditioned coach, a delicious three-course lunch and the expertise of your guide. Brush up your French history on this UNESCO World Heritage island and hear the legends of its hilltop Benedictine abbey. You’ll have plenty of time to admire the breathtaking views, explore the medieval village, and pop in the souvenir shops for a trinket or two! Take a relaxing drive through the picture-postcard Normandy coast as your guide narrates the region’s rich history, marked by invasions by the Romans and the Barbarians, only to end up being fought over in the Hundred Years’ War. Before you know it, the magical rocky island of Mont St Michel - the unique UNESCO World Heritage Site - will appear into view. Next, your guide will regale you with the island’s fascinating history while they lead you up the narrow, cobbled lanes to the top of the village, to reveal incredible bay views over the Atlantic. You’ll retrace the steps of pilgrims of the Middle Ages to discover the famous Benedictine abbey – founded by the bishop of Avranches when, according to legend, the Archangel Michael appeared to him in a vision - and its cloisters, ramparts and dining hall. Hear about the extreme tides surrounding the island, adding to the fairytale feel. With an approximate 4 hours to spend at this incredible site, you’ll have plenty of time to explore shops, museums and nature at your leisure before your return drive to your hotel.
From April 1st, lunch won't be included anymore.
