A magical island topped by a gravity-defying medieval monastery, the Mont-Saint-Michel counts among France’s most stunning sights. Mont Saint Michel is a small rocky island in Normandy, on the north coast of France, near the border of Brittany. For centuries one of Europe’s major pilgrimage destinations, this holy mount is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as is its breathtaking bay. Massive walls measuring more than half a mile in circumference surround this great tourist attraction, a Gothic-style Benedictine abbey, perched on a rocky, cone-shaped islet in the midst of immense sandbanks. The church is dedicated to the archangel St Michael. Mont Saint-Michel is connected with the shore by a causeway.
From the capital to two of the charming destinations in Normandy, France is at your grasp like never before. Start in Paris (the city of Lights); after that, travel to Normandy Area to visit: Deauville (beach resort town internationally known for its horse culture, famous tracks, Yearling sales and its multiple group one annual races) and Mont Saint Michel (medieval walled city, crowned by its great gothic abbey, built on a small granite outcrop standing all by itself in the flats of the estuary of the river Couesnon, off the coast of Normandy). Return to Paris for one last stay, before heading home. You will enjoy private transfers between all cities that will allow you explore the following stops: Basilica of St. Theresa (in Lisieux; the second most popular place of pilgrimage in France after Lourdes); Brittany American Cemetery and Fromagerie Graindorge (known throughout France for its four Norman cheeses, like the Camembert). This is a flexible vacation package. Select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities.
