Mont Saint Michel Tour
|
This escorted tour of Mont Saint Michel could easily become the most enduring memory of any place that you will ever visit,
 thanks to its unique location in the middle of a sea-filled bay, its extraordinary assemblage of architectural styles and the sheer romance of its creation. Its legends date all the way back to the first millennium. There is something magic about seeing it which words do not convey: you have to see for yourself to understand its attraction. It is one of our planet's few truly world class monuments, and the reward of beholding it more than justifies the three hour drive from Paris that it takes to reach it.
The natural history of the site dates to a period when the current island was probably surrounded by a forest, instead of the sea. Its human history begins as a place of worship at the end of the 7th century, with ties to Italy. From then on, its story flows like a river through the histories of France and Britain: the Vikings, the Norman Conquest, the Hundred Year's War, the Crusades and even the French Revolution. It played a role in each of these epochal periods.
 This day tour from Paris of Mont St. Michel is performed by your personal bilingual guide/driver, who is an expert in its history, in a comfortable upscale vehicle. It reveals the entire history of its creation, relates its role in the many wars that swirled over the centuries around it, and also helps the visitor avoid the downsides (rip-offs) of visiting one of the world's favorite tourist attractions. The round-trip from Paris involves over six hours of motoring, so (if there is sufficient daylight) Paris Luxury Tours recommends combining this tour with another, such as a tour of Chartres, to break up the monotony of the return drive to Paris.
