Excursão de dia inteiro ao Mont Saint Michel saindo de Bayeux
Descrição
Descubra 13 séculos de história com nossos guias experientes. Na lista de Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO desde 1979, Mont-Saint-Michel é uma incrível obra-prima da arquitetura rodeada pela bela paisagem marinha de uma das maiores baías da Europa. Seu Guia irá primeiro apresentar-lhe a aldeia na ilha, onde as lojas e restaurantes têm existido por 1000 anos. Em seguida, você vai subir para o topo da rocha onde você visitará as diferentes salas da Abadia com seu Guia e você terá a chance de entender o que foi a vida de um monge na "Cidade dos Livros", através de diferentes guerras ao longo dos séculos. Além disso, o seu Guia lhe explicará a construção lenta da abadia, de seus tempos pré-românicos à Revolução Francês, e o uso das diferentes salas da abadia. Após a visita à Abadia, você terá algum tempo livre para o almoço e para explorar um pouco mais a ilha por conta própria, antes de voltar para Bayeux.

Itinerário
Primeiro, dirigiremos 1h30 até o Mont-Saint-Michel. O Mont Saint Michel é o local mais visitado da Normandia e um dos locais mais visitados da França. A primeira construção na rocha foi construída em 708. Algumas décadas depois, tornou-se um importante local de peregrinação para todos os cristãos do mundo. Graças ao trabalho da comunidade religiosa do Monte, o local tornou-se uma referência intelectual na Europa, onde foram escritos milhares de livros, manuscritos e cartas. No século XIX, a importância do Mont Saint Michel estava em declínio e tornou-se uma prisão após a Revolução Francesa em 1789. De 1793 a 1863, o local teve a pior reputação e foi apelidado de Bastilha dos mares… O edifício sofreu com a falta de manutenção durante esse tempo e quase desapareceu depois que os franceses deixaram de usá-lo como prisão. Felizmente, ele foi salvo da destruição e muitos arquitetos o renovaram desde então até os dias atuais. Após a visita, retornaremos a Bayeux 1h30.

Anna was a wonderful tour guide. The pick up and travel was so easy and comfortable. It was really helpful to have a guide to get to mont st Michel but also to have a tour of the abbey because there aren't signs that tell you the history. The tour consists of a guided tour through the abbey for about 2.5h and then 2.5h for lunch, souvenir shopping and walking back to the car. Great experience!
Val was a great tour guide and had a wealth of knowledge about the abbey and construction techniques over the years. We highly recommend this tour!
Suffice it to say that it was 104 degrees the day we took this tour and we're in our 70's - so it was very hard. Of course, the weather is not the guide's fault. Michael was very good, friendly and spoke good English as he gave us some history of MSM on the way. The van was OK, but the AC wasn't as good as some vans and, of course, those stuck in the third seat can't see as well. Nonetheless, there were 8 of us on the tour, including one lady who walked with a cane and immediately realized she wasn't cut out for the hike up the hill to the abbey. I'm glad we chose this tour instead of trying to tour the abbey ourselves because there is so much to see and learn that it would have been impossible without a guide. Michael seemed to know all the facts and was patient and encouraging of us as we climbed the 300 steps. I was sorry, though, that we only had one hour to eat lunch and visit any shops in town after the tour. Then we had to hurry back to the shuttle stop (1/4 mile, no shade, full heat) and wait in the long line (30 min.) to return to our van in the parking lot. The drive back to Bayeux was a bit hair-raising. I couldn't see the speedometer, but we were definitely passing every car on the road. As a result, we got back 30 minutes early, feeling like we could have used that 30 minutes to look around the shops in MSM a little more. Nevertheless, it was a good tour. Just be aware that you must be in good shape to do it.
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!

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.

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!
