About the place

Travel to Mont Saint-Michel for a day

Set off for a day trip to Mont Saint-Michel, France's iconic island crowned by a UNESCO-listed abbey. Your adventure begins in Paris in the morning in an air-conditioned coach. As you wind through the Normandy countryside, relax and soak in the scenery as the audio guide offers insights into the region's rich history. Use the audio guide to navigate the island at your own pace.

An ancient testament to faith

Climb to the island's peak to see the Benedictine Abbey, built in honor of Archangel Saint Michael dating back to the 8th century. Learn how this jewel of Gothic architecture, built on three levels, defied gravity. Explore the serene cloisters, the grand refectory, and the enchanting garden offering panoramic sea views. Wander the village at your own pace, following the ramparts and the perimeter walkway. Watch the island transform from a sandy haven at low tide to a sea-embraced fortress at high.
