Your afternoon will then be devoted to discovering Mont-Saint-Michel, classified as a world heritage site by UNESCO since 1979. You begin your visit by strolling the picturesque streets to the celebrated Abbey.  With your entrance ticket, which will be given to you by your tour escort, you will visit, at your own pace, this magnificent Benedictine building dating from the 8th century. Developed in a Gothic style and dedicated to the archangel Saint Michael, the Abbey is home to a superb cloister, suspended between the sky and the sea. The arcades of the galleries are supported by columns in staggered rows, which allow in more light and airiness in.  Behind the cloister, you will come to the impressive refectory, where the monks gather for their silent meals.  

After the visit to the Abbey, be sure to walk through the streets the length of the ramparts, which have a sensational view over the bay. The incredible view, extending over the sand that encircles the rock, will take your breath away. You can also take advantage of your time here to taste some specialties of the Mont (the famous Breton crepes, for example), visit the souvenir shops, attend some village events, and, if time permits, visit some museums. 

The departure from Mont-Saint-Michel is scheduled for about 4:30 pm, to arrive at our Paris agency at around 9:45 pm.
