Overview

Mont St. Michel, or “The Wonder of the West”, is one of France’s top attractions and the most popular destination in Normandy. Our day-trip transports you to this UNESCO World Heritage Site on a comfortable coach ride from Paris, taking in the landscapes of Normandy along the way. As you approach this unique island, you’ll catch your first glimpse of its famous 10th-century gothic abbey. You’ll have four hours to lunch and explore at your leisure, with your multi-language audio guide if option selected. Wander through the village and its steep streets, visit the abbey with its medieval architecture, hunt out picture-postcard views across the Atlantic, and watch as the tide rises around the island. Don’t forget to taste local, seasonal products in the traditional décor of one of the many eateries. The island is yours to enjoy at your own pace, before you return to Paris by coach.

Some of the village’s restaurants close mid-afternoon, so consider eating on the earlier side. Then, why not make your way up to the top of the hill (to work off your lunch!) and visit the Benedictine Abbey? Founded when the Bishop of Avranches saw a vision of Archangel Michael in a dream, this pilgrimage site from the Middle Ages features a copper statue of Michael slaying a dragon, the monk’s refectory, cloisters and ramparts.

During low tide, the island is surrounded by sand, then it’s completely enclosed by water at high tide! At the end of your magical day, you’ll hop back on the coach to return to Paris.

The abbey was incredible. The town itself was fun. Absolutely gorgeous views from both above and below.

Although it was mostly audio guide, the guide was friendly and professional along the way and back. This place is a must to go when you are in France.

It was a very long bus ride, would have helped to have a tour guide who actually was a decent guy, instead we got a surly guy who told us to go to sleep and turned off the lights, didn't actually do anything but count us to make sure got off an on, nothing about the 4 hours of surrounding country side we went through, just be quiet and sleep. Also the two stops don't actually include food that you could eat as a meal, it's all snacks, so bring your breakfast and dinner with you. Good thing Saint Michel is so amazing, otherwise this would have no stars.

The site is incredible! We loved that. Guide was very sweet and gave some info. Travel time is long, but we expected that - so was OK. Very comfortable bus so slept on way up. 2 main complaints - 1. The audioguide is actually a download on the phone - no wifi provided - so if you do not have data you are OUT OF LUCK and without notice, did not have blue tooth ear phones - hard to listen in abby due to the need to be quiet - wish we would have been notified prior. 2. Material said restroom was on the bus - but they claimed it was "broken" - sure they just really did not want to clean. Complained to company via the comments - but have yet to have a response. Would try and find a different vendor if possible!
