About this experience

From Paris: Full-Day Guided Tour of Mont Saint-Michel with Round-Trip Transfers This guided day tour takes you from Paris to Mont Saint-Michel, one of France's most spectacular medieval abbeys perched on a tidal island in Normandy. You'll travel by comfortable air-conditioned coach while your guide shares stories about the region's history and culture during the scenic journey through the Norman countryside. Upon arrival at Mont Saint-Michel, you'll explore the abbey with direct entry and a self-guided audio tour, then have free time to wander the cobblestone streets, sample local specialities like the famous omelet at La Mère Poulard, and watch the dramatic tides transform the landscape around this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour includes ample time to admire panoramic views from the ancient ramparts and photograph this architectural marvel.
