Description
Enjoy a full-day tour of Mont Saint-Michel and Saint-Malo. Learn, about the amazing history and architecture of both places with your expert licensed guide. Monks, Abbots, pilgrims, pirates and famous explorers will be with you for the day.
Beyond the experience I have for doing this tour, it is the love for the site and its history.
Sometimes, I wish I could live on the Mont St Michel for the tranquility and the view.
The nights I have spent on this island are always too short.
On the way to Mt St-Michel, I will show you the beauty of the Emerald Coast, one of France most charming roads.
Along the road, I will tell you all the history of the Mont, its well kept secrets and forbidden stories.
On the "Mont ", you will explore the Abbey, the Church & the village.
For lunch : local specialties "bien sur" in the best restaurant of the island.
After the Mont St Michel, I'll drive you to Cancale, a lovely little village set in this bay,
Cancale is the the best place in France and probably in Europe for oysters . (The famous "Belon of Cancale" ). Besides many tasting you will also see how oysters are raised.
Then, if you still have time I will guide you in Saint Malo, where you will be back in the days of privateering and great discoverers.
