During your drive through Normandy, your guide will tell you about the varied history of this region and stress the beauty of its landscape. Then you will discover the Mont St Michel. Surrounded by the sea and the moving sands, linked to the mainland via a seawall, this Western Marvel is unique in the world. Dredging works are being carried out to ensure that the bay keeps its unique maritime characteristic. Upon your arrival on the Mont, you will have free time for lunch. After lunch you will have a guided visit of the Abbey. Built on a rocky islet, it was a great cultural center and a pilgrimage destination in the Middle-Ages. You will admire the gothic buildings built in succession over the centuries, notably the cloister and the monks' refectory. Following this visit you will have free time to wander through the steep and narrow paths, admire the bay and visit the village before the return ride to Paris.
