Excursion d'une journée au Mont Saint Michel au départ de Bayeux
Description
Découvrez 13 siècles d'histoire avec nos guides expérimentés. Sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis 1979, le Mont-Saint-Michel est un incroyable chef-d'œuvre d'architecture entouré du magnifique paysage marin de l'une des plus grandes baies d'Europe. Votre Guide vous présentera tout d'abord le village de l'île, où des boutiques et des restaurants existent depuis 1000 ans. Ensuite, vous monterez au sommet du rocher où vous visiterez les différentes salles de l'abbaye avec votre Guide et vous aurez la chance de comprendre ce qu'était la vie d'un moine dans la "Cité des livres", à travers différentes guerres au cours des siècles. Aussi, votre Guide vous expliquera la lenteur de la construction de l'abbaye, de son époque préromane à la révolution Française, et l'utilisation des différentes salles de l'abbaye. Après la visite de l'abbaye, vous aurez du temps libre pour déjeuner et explorer un peu plus l'île par vous-même, avant de retourner à Bayeux.

Itinéraire
Nous roulerons d'abord 1h30 jusqu'au Mont-Saint-Michel. Le Mont Saint Michel est le site le plus visité de Normandie et l'un des sites les plus visités de France. La première construction sur le rocher a été construite en 708. Quelques décennies plus tard, elle est devenue un lieu de pèlerinage majeur pour tous les chrétiens du monde. Grâce au travail de la communauté religieuse du Mont, le site est considéré comme une référence intellectuelle en Europe où des milliers de livres, manuscrits et chartes ont été rédigés. Au XIXe siècle, l'importance du Mont Saint Michel décline et il devient une prison après la Révolution française en 1789. De 1793 à 1863, le site a la plus mauvaise réputation et est surnommé la Bastille des mers… L'édifice souffre de le manque d'entretien pendant cette période et a presque disparu après que les Français ont cessé de l'utiliser comme prison. Heureusement, il a été sauvé de la destruction et de nombreux architectes l'ont rénové depuis lors jusqu'à nos jours. Après la visite, nous retournerons à Bayeux en 1h30.

Our tour to Mont Saint Michel was perfect. Anna picked us up at our hotel in Bayeux, and the day was just right for us. Her driving was excellent, and she made sure to get us to the right place for the shuttle. With some walking issues, we were pleased to be able to do and see a lot without difficulty. It was a beautiful experience.
We went with Yanick from HQ tours and he was wonderful. The tour was very informative and it was nice to have a guide in the city with you and going through the Abbey.
Great tour with our guide Val. He was very knowledgeable about the abbey and how the architecture evolved through the centuries. We arrived early enough before the crowds and made our way to the top with great views. Highly recommend!

We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again on a future adventure! Pierre HQ Company Tour
Had a great day exploring Mont St Michele with our guide Michael. I rarrr erly ever do yours, as I like to explore myself. However it was so nice to have a person as knowledgeable as Michael who you could ask questions and he knew the answers. It saved a lot of time searching on my phone for answers and was much more personalized.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted that Michael's knowledge and personalized approach added so much value to your visit. It's nice to hear that even as someone who usually prefers independent travel, you found the tour worthwhile. We hope to welcome you back to Normandy again soon! Pierre HQ Company Tour
Michael was a wealth of knowledge. His passion for the history of Le Mont St Michel as well as Normandy was so evident as he told stories and answered the many questions he was asked. His warm personality made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend taking the tour. If you're able to, request Michael!

The Abbey was amazing - well worth the trip! My tour guide, Anna, was just wonderful - knowledgeable, personable, with total command of English. The best tour guide I’ve ever had!
Our guide Val was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable not inly about the history of Mt St Michel but of France and the US. It was a most enjoyable tour. We highly recommend this one.
Excellent. The activities, accommodations and the organizes of the tour were outstanding. Would book with them again.
