Experience one of France's most beloved sites, the 'Wonder of the West,' on this full-day tour of historic Mont Saint-Michel. The spectacular landmark comes into view at the completion of your relaxing, three-hour drive from port. Venture back in time as you explore this magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to 709 A.D. From the parking structure, a shuttle bus takes you to the base of the rock, which is crowned by the abbey. Walk up a steep flight of stairs and begin a narrated tour of the Gothic abbey, the delicate cloister with spectacular views, the austere dining quarters and the Romanesque foundation. Then, enjoy time for independent exploration of the church and the medieval town with cobblestone streets and quaint shops where you can purchase lunch on your own and shop for mementos and souvenirs. Conclude with a relaxing ride back to port.
