  • 5Our guide, Lu, was...

    Our guide, Lu, was wonderful - she was so knowledgeable about the history and evolution of Mont St-Michel and was able to answer each and every question. The tour was well-organized and with just the right pacing throughout the Abbey to be able to see and hear the significance of each room and construction. Top notch tour.

  • 4Helpful hint

    Use the toilets before you get on the bus. There are limited toilets and not very clean. We had to pay after climbing many steps before there was a toilet.

  • 5Excellent tour, highly recommended

    Excellent tour, brilliantly handled by Nad. Instructions from Ophorus were clear and accurate about meeting places and what to expect in the tour. Nad was extremely informative and passionate about Mont Saint-Michel, as well as Normandy in general. Very highly recommend this tour.

About Bayeux

Bayeux is a small Norman town of medieval lanes and a Gothic cathedral, home to a famous embroidery of the Norman conquest and close to the D-Day beaches.

A strip of embroidered linen almost seventy metres long, made in the eleventh century, tells the story of the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and hangs in its own museum in town. The cathedral, whose crossing spire towers over the rooftops, was consecrated in 1077 with William the Conqueror present. Bayeux escaped bombing in 1944, so its old centre of half-timbered and stone houses along the River Aure is largely intact.

Top-ranked sights in Bayeux: Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial.
