Mont-Saint-Michel Tour

From $1250

From $1250 – 12 Hours from Paris

Your journey through history begins as you travel through the rolling pastures and timeless villages of Normandy.

Upon arrival at the Bay, cross the spectacular causeway leading to Mont-Saint-Michel, a sacred medieval sanctuary founded in 708 by Saint Aubert, Bishop of Avranches, following a divine command from Archangel Saint-Michel. Over the centuries, the abbey has served as a place of pilgrimage, fortress, prison, and monastery.
Discover the awe-inspiring architecture and engineering mastery of the abbey, perched on rocky foundations, and explore the narrow cobbled streets lined with ancient buildings, each telling tales of monks, knights, kings, and commoners. Mont-Saint-Michel has long inspired artists such as Eugène Delacroix, Claude Monet, and Victor Hugo, who were captivated by its dramatic beauty.
Ascend the abbey’s ramparts for panoramic views of the bay’s shimmering sands, shifting tides, and the distant horizon. Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Mont-Saint-Michel, a place where history, faith, and artistry come together in an unforgettable natural setting.
