Your
first sight of the Mont, either
dominating the white beaches
between Normandy and Brittany or
emerging from the ocean at high
tide will be an unforgettable
experience. The legend says that
in the 8th century, Archangel St
Michel appeared to the local
bishop and ordered him to build a
chapel on top of a 258 foot high
mount. An abbey quickly followed
which, in order to accommodate
the ever growing number of
pilgrims from all over Europe,
was constantly embellished and
enlarged with new construction,
sometimes built on top of each
other. However, the result is of
surprising harmony, one of
medieval Europe's masterpieces
and such an architectural wonder
that it is called the Marvel of
the West. Drive through the
Normandy region. During the
summer season, April to October,
brunch is served at the "Le
Dauphin" restaurant at
L'Aigle (drinks included). In
winter, November to March, lunch
is served at Mont-Saint-Michel.
Throughout the year, our
afternoon at Mont-Saint-Michel
begins with a guided visit of the
Abbey followed by free time.
Dinner on the way back to Paris
at Pot l'Eveque. Arrival in Paris
around 10:30pm.
