“Do the self pace tour! My wife and I tried to book last minute with the English speaking tour, but were unsuccessful. So we opted to do the self guided tour and it was amazing. You don’t really need a guide for this tour, just transportation because it’s far from Paris.”

Spent 3.5 hours at the site which was plenty of time to see the whole monastery and have a nice lunch, there are several restaurants there.”

“We were welcomed by our tour guide Oranne and she was the perfect tour guide! Patient, helpful and her knowledge of Mont Saint-Michel. Normandy/Brittany areas was amazing. What impressed my sisters and I was her delivery! We were very lucky to have her and so is anyone who steps on her van to take this tour! She was a one girl band. She chauffeured us to & from our hotel, was our tour guide and paced the steps to make the climb more manageable for my sister! The icing on the cake; full sunshine with light winds. Thank you Aronne”
