Marvel of the Western World" and is still one of the most famous pilgrimage
centers dating from the Middle Ages. The Mont St Michel is one of France's
most well known and (most photographed) landmarks and enjoys a
wonderful setting in the heart of the Normandy region, rich in history and
well known for its characteristic architecture, rich farmland, gastronomic

Stop at around 9.30 am at
the restaurant "Le Dauphin" (provincial bourgeois decor) to enjoy a
typically French brunch (summer).

take our leave for Mont-Saint-Michel and arrive around 1pm.
During the winter months,
we lunch on arrival at the "Relais Saint-Michel restaurant (modern, refined
decor with an excellent view of the Mont-Saint-Michel monument).
We begin our afternoon by
ascending the monument (by the ramparts or by the village) as far as the
Abbey located on the top of the mount. Our guided visit covers the interior
of the Abbey.
Clients are then invited to
discover the village on their own. At 4.30pm we leave for Pont-L'Evêque
