Here’s an overview of your tour

Escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in the magic of Normandy on this private day trip by car from Bayeux to Mont Saint-Michel. With a local host guiding your journey, enjoy a relaxed, personalized experience that goes far beyond the typical tourist route.

On your way to Mont Saint-Michel, enjoy a brief stop in Avranches—just long enough to stretch your legs and soak in one of the most picturesque views of the tidal island. From this elevated vantage point, you'll get a stunning glimpse of the Mont rising out of the bay—an unforgettable photo opportunity to kick off your adventure.

Once at Mont Saint-Michel, your guide will lead you through the cobbled streets and up to the magnificent Abbey, where history echoes through every arch and corridor. Explore the church, cloisters, and refectory while hearing captivating stories of medieval monks, pilgrims, and the remarkable architecture that has endured through centuries.

Before heading back to Bayeux, wander down the Grand Rue, the lively heart of the Mont. Your host will point out the best spots for a quick bite, traditional souvenirs, or simply to enjoy the unique atmosphere of this island village.

This tour is all about you. Your host is not just a guide, but a passionate storyteller who tailors the experience to your interests—whether it’s history, local legends, or scenic spots. Want to linger longer or adjust the pace? It’s all up to you.
