Experience Details*
Travel through the picturesque Normandy countryside to the magical island of Mont Saint-Michel. Climb through the twisted cobblestoned walkways, passing historic houses, restaurants and tiny boutiques and the stalls of souvenir merchants peddling their wares, like in the Middle Ages at the height of the most fervent pilgrimages. Learn about the monks who worshipped in the beautiful Gothic cloister, visit the ramparts – a sentry walk with great views of the bay – and the lovely gardens. There are plenty of great shopping opportunities in the town including copperware, pottery, chinaware and Normandy speciality foods. Browse for souvenirs and enjoy a bite to eat.
