Embark on an unforgettable journey through Normandy on our small group day tour from Bayeux to the iconic Mont Saint-Michel abbey. With pick-up at Place du Québec in Bayeux, prepare to be enchanted by the scenic beauty and rich history of this captivating region.
Our adventure begins with a picturesque drive along the Normandy coastline, where the dramatic cliffs and endless beaches inspired the Impressionist movement. Marvel at the unique light that bathes the landscape in shades of blue, grey, and green, while keeping an eye out for seagulls soaring overhead and waves crashing against the shore.
Arriving at Mont Saint-Michel, you'll be greeted by the majestic abbey rising from its rocky island perch. Embark on a guided tour of the abbey, exploring its vertical granite architecture and towering staircases. Wander through the monastic buildings, including the cloister, Chapter Room, Refectory, and Knight's Room, each offering a glimpse into centuries of history and architectural splendor.
After your tour, enjoy leisure time to explore Mont Saint-Michel at your own pace. Meander through the narrow streets of the medieval village, admiring the half-timbered houses and soaking in the ambiance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the abbey's magnificent gardens and take in panoramic views of the surrounding coastline.
Indulge in a leisurely lunch (not included, at tour leisure) at one of the charming restaurants in the village, savoring delicious local cuisine while soaking in the atmosphere of this historic setting.
As the day draws to a close, we'll bid farewell to Mont Saint-Michel and make our way back to Bayeux, where you'll be dropped off at Place du Québec, reflecting on the memories of a day spent exploring the wonders of Normandy's coastline and the awe-inspiring Mont Saint-Michel abbey.
