Useful Information
Mont Saint Michel, Normandy
After your pickup from your Caen hotel, head out on your private day tour to your first destination, Mont Saint-Michel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and undoubtedly one of Normandy's most spectacular attractions.
Mont Saint-Michel is a rocky island just off the coast of Normandy. The well-preserved abbey from which the island takes its name dates back to the 8th century, and since then, buildings in several architectural styles have been built on the island, resulting in a diverse collection of architecture that you will admire as you walk through the narrow streets. Explore the abbey’s ramparts, and then browse the local shops and visit the island's museum. Make sure to also take in the views over the bay.
Then visit one of the creperies and treat yourself to a crepe – try the regional specialty, a galette bretonne (a buckwheat pancake with a savory filling). There are also numerous restaurants where you can enjoy lunch (own expense); try the seafood of the region, fresh from the fishermen's morning catch.
