This an all day excursion. It will take you about 4.5 to 5 hours to drive there from Paris in a very comfortable bus. You will have about 4 hours to spend touring Mont-Saint-Michel, which is spectacular, before heading home. It is a long drive but well worth it once you arrive.

Extremely well organised, clear communication, timings etc. Our guide was exceptional- knowledgeable, friendly, attuned to the group and delivered the perfect balance of free and guided time. Of course the destination was amazing!!!

Our guide Stephen was knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. He made the tour interesting but it didn’t feel like we were being herded around. 100% would recommend
