Højdepunkter

Cherbourg sits at the tip of the Cotentin Peninsula — and Mont-Saint-Michel sits at its base. The drive down the coast takes under two hours, passing through some of the quietest and most beautiful countryside in Normandy. This private tour makes that journey easy. Your driver meets you at the cruise terminal, takes you directly to Mont-Saint-Michel, and returns you to the ship before departure — guaranteed. What awaits at the other end is one of the genuine wonders of France. A tidal island fortress, crowned by a Gothic abbey that has stood since the 8th century, surrounded by a bay where the tide arrives faster than almost anywhere else in the world. It is the kind of place that exceeds expectations even when you think you know what to expect. Five hours on the island. Time enough to climb to the abbey, walk the ramparts, explore the medieval village, and simply stand and take in the view across the bay. Add a licensed guide for expert historical commentary throughout your visit.

Rute

  1. Rising from the tidal flats of Normandy's bay, Mont-Saint-Michel is unlike any other place in France — or anywhere else. A fortified island village, crowned by a Gothic abbey, surrounded by one of the most dramatic tidal environments in the world. It has been a place ofpilgrimage, a military fortress, and a prison. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site visited by over three million people a year — and it still manages to feel like a discovery. Five hours on the island gives you time to do it properly. Start at the base and work your way up through the Grande Rue — the main street lined with medieval houses, small restaurants, and craft shops. The higher you climb, the quieter it gets and the better the views. At the top, the Benedictine abbey rewards the climb. The cloisters, the refectory, the great hall — each room is a lesson in medieval architecture and monastic life. The views from the abbey terraces over the bay are among the finest in France.

About Mont-St-Michel

Mont-Saint-Michel is a rocky tidal island in a vast bay on the Normandy coast, crowned by a medieval abbey and ringed by ramparts and fast tides.

Mont-Saint-Michel rises from the sands of a wide bay at the mouth of the Couesnon river, on the border of Normandy and Brittany. According to tradition the first sanctuary was built here in 708, and over the centuries a Benedictine abbey grew up the rock in granite tiers, topped by a church and a spire. The island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
