Leave Paris in the early morning and hit the road to reach Mont Saint-Michel and Cancale!
You'll meet your group near Notre-Dame and be driven to the biggest bay in Europe. Visit the base of the island of Mont Saint-Michel on foot; a unique fortified rocky outcrop, it dates back to the Middle Ages and is surrounded by a vast bay with one of the biggest tides in Europe. Climb right up to the top of the island to the captivating Benedictine abbey, which dates from the 8th Century (abbey entrance ticket not included).
The landscape will take your breath away as you breathe in the sea air. The sand stretches as far as the eye can see at low tide and the island is cut off by the sea at high tide. Why not indulge in some souvenir shopping, watch the hustle-and-bustle of village life, or sample local crêpes?
You'll then head to Cancale, a village famous for its flat oysters, true paradise for food lovers. The funniest way to have your oysters is to buy them fresh from one of the vendors in the small market area of the main waterfront street.
Transportation in comfortable air-conditioned coach or minivan
Tickets to the Abbey must be purchased for additional cost
