Travel to Southern Normandy

Prepare to discover the remarkable Gothic jewel, Mont Saint Michel, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Situated just 1 kilometer off the coast of Normandy in the English Channel, it rests in a bay renowned for some of Europe's largest tides. A connecting bridge to the mainland, which occasionally gets flooded during high tides, adds to its unique allure.

The initial church was constructed on the mount in 709 AD at the request of Archangel Michael. Centuries later, a community of Benedictine monks settled there permanently, resulting in the expansion of the church and the creation of the first monastery carved into the rock in the 11th century. Over time, Mont Saint Michel became a significant pilgrimage destination, comparable to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

Visit the Magnificent Benedictine Abbey with Your Guide

The construction of the Mont Saint Michel abbey, as we admire it today, was completed during the 13th and 14th centuries, with the grand chancel being replaced in the 15th century. Centuries of architectural brilliance have bestowed upon us a magnificent monument now celebrated as the "Wonder of the Western World" and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

During your day trip to Mont Saint Michel, our friendly English-speaking driver/guide will escort you from Bayeux to the site. Access to Mont Saint Michel is facilitated by a shuttle and the bridge, in accordance with local requirements. En route, savor the stunning beauty of the Normandy coastline.

Follow your guide on a captivating walking tour of the abbey, delving into its fascinating history and architectural marvels. Don't miss the opportunity to capture breathtaking views of the surrounding bay.

Experience the Vibrant village of Mont Saint Michel

After exploring the abbey, enjoy some free time to wander through the town at your leisure. Take home souvenirs for your loved ones from the charming local shops. Our guide will provide recommendations for excellent restaurants suitable for all budgets, ensuring a delightful lunch experience.

If you desire an indulgent treat, the renowned Mère Poulard restaurant is a must-visit. Famous for its unique "omelet soufflé" recipe, it is a culinary delight worth experiencing during your Mont Saint Michel day tour. Keep in mind that the restaurant's popularity with visitors may require a significant amount of waiting time.

Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to explore the enchanting Mont Saint Michel with our expert guide. Reserve your place now and be part of this unforgettable journey through Normandy's captivating history and beauty.

  • Who conducts these Normandy shared tours from Bayeux?

    We mainly employ accredited and licensed tour guides that are also the drivers for all tours that need visits to be conducted by certified guides. Good examples are: the visit of museums, guided walking tours in cities, visit of historical monuments such as Mont Saint Michel and so on. 

    For some tours, such as the day trips from Bayeux dedicated to WWII, passionate guides that were history teachers, ex servicemen will be with you to explain the details of the battles that raged. All our guides are first and foremost very skilled drivers and all of them speak impeccable English.
  • Is Bayeux the ideal town and departure point for Normandy D-DAY tours?

    If you are looking to experience Normandy in the best possible way, then our day trips from Bayeux make for an ideal departure point. The charming small town of Bayeux has a large number of options when it comes to accommodation and dining. Moreover, the historic medieval city centre as well as the famous Tapestry are part of the best things to do while in Bayeux.
  • 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.
  • Is lunch included on this shared full day trip from Bayeux?

    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.
