Workshop Excursion
Wednesday 3rd September afternoon
Mont-Saint-Michel, between sea and sky
The Mont-Saint-Michel, on the UNESCO World Heritage List, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, stands at the heart of an immense bay. It’s the second most visited tourist site in France, with its medieval streets, 15th- and 16th-century houses… and its famous Abbey dominating the rock.
We’ll leave Saint-Malo by bus at 12:30 p.m. to start the 2 parallel tours before 2 p.m., for 2 hours. Then you’ll have 1.5 hours to continue your free exploration of this emblematic site.
We’ll meet again at the foot of the Mont at 5:30 p.m. to return to our buses.
2 guided tours are available:
- the guided tour of the mediaeval village and the famous Abbey
- the crossing of the bay with certified guides (another view of the Mont, experience of pilgrims arriving on foot, surrounded by shifting sands)
