• Will we have some free time for personal discovery of Mont Saint Michel?

  Yes, after the morning guided visit of the Abbey, the rest of your time at the Mont Saint Michel is for you to enjoy. You can either stay a bit more at the top of the Mount or decide to make your way back down slowly. On your way, don't hesitate to take some of the smaller side streets that are less crowded and that can lead to some stunning views over the Bay.

• How difficult is it to reach Mont Saint Michel Abbey?

  Mont Saint Michel as the name points out, is a mount and the Abbey is located at the top of the Mount! There are roughly 350 stairs that you will need to climb to reach the Abbey - around 200 stairs are in the village itself and the remaining 150 are within the Abbey. Therefore, if you have reduced mobility then the safer option is to stay in the village. This tour is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.

  No, we never include lunch on our shared tours. However, please note that you will have a sufficient amount of free time to have lunch in the village of Mont Saint Michel. There are a very large number of choices when it comes to eating from snacks, sandwiches to local retaurants and brasseries.
