Beyond the experience I have for doing this tour, it is the love for the site and its history.

Sometimes, I wish I could live on the Mont St Michel for the tranquility and the view.
The nights I have spent on this island are always too short.

On the way to Mt St-Michel, I will show you the beauty of the Emerald Coast, one of France most charming roads.
Along the road, I will tell you all the history of the Mont, its well kept secrets and forbidden stories.
On the "Mont ", you will explore the Abbey, the Church & the village.

For lunch : local specialties "bien sur" in the best restaurant of the island.

After the Mont St Michel, I'll drive you to Cancale, a lovely little village set in this bay,
Cancale is the the best place in France and probably in Europe for oysters . (The famous "Belon of Cancale" ). Besides many tasting you will also see how oysters are raised.

Then, if you still have time I will guide you in Saint Malo, where you will be back in the days of privateering and great discoverers.
