Introduction: Visit the amazing monastery of Mont-Saint-Michel and discover the history of this unique place. There really is no where else like it in the world, so book now for a truly unique experience. Formerly a major pilgrimage center, it is still home to monks today. Admire the Gothic architecture and marvel at the remarkable cloister and refectory.
Description: Drive through Normandy to the Mont-Saint-Michel. Surrounded by dangerous moving sands and linked to the mainland by a dike, this "Marvel of the Occident" is unique in the world.
You wil take a guided visit of the Abbey. It was built on a rocky islet and was a major cultural and pilgrimage center during the Middle Ages. Admire the ramparted Gothic monastery surrounded by ramparts which have been superposed over the centuries, and in particular, the remarkable cloister and refectory.
You are then free to wander up the famous steep-sided narrow streets. There are many things to see and to do; the main street with its shops, the museums, the walk around the ramparts with views out over the sands of the bay, as well as the spectacle of the sea rushing in to surround the Mont at each high tide.
