Mont Saint Michel Day Trip
Set off on a full-day trip to Mont Saint Michel from Paris. This medieval abbey is one of the most famous and iconic sights in France. The rocky island, declared a World Heritage site, was one of the country’s most important pilgrimage sites during the Middle Ages.
Itinerary
Depart from central Paris at 7:15 am on a luxury coach and relax while you head to Normandy, renowned for its lavish and varied landscapes.
You’ll reach your destination at noon (12 pm) and you’ll stop to have a heavenly 3-course lunch with beverages and coffee or tea at the Relais St Michel Restaurant, located on the bay, with impressive views of Mont Saint Michel.
After lunch, you’ll cross the bay until you reach the island and then take a walking guided tour through the cobbled streets of the charming Gothic and Romanesque town.
Follow your guide to the top of the outcrop and discover the magnificent eighth-century monastery, that attracts over one million visitors each year. Built to commemorate the Archangel Michael, it was catalogued as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.
Once the tour is over, you can enjoy Mont Saint Michel at your own pace, try one of Normandy’s famous crêpes or buy your friends and family souvenirs.
You'll head back to Paris at 4:30 pm and get to the city centre at 9:15 pm.
Independent tour
If you want to explore Mont Saint Michel at your own leisure, without a guided tour or lunch, you can book a cheaper excursion with return transportation and entry to the Medieval Abbey.
