A day at the Mont Saint Michel, a must see!!!

Meeting at 7.30am in MCE neighborhood, we leave Nantes by private bus for a 2.5hr coach ride. Once at Mont St Michel, we first have a one hour guided tour (one group in English, one group in French) to learn about this unique place history and its village gathered on that tiny rock in the middle of the bay. At 12.30, you’ll have 2 hours of free time on Mont St Michel to wander, visit, and admire this historical world famous site. Either you take time to stroll and eat or you visit the abbey and rush for a sandwich.
At 2.30pm, we meet again to start a two hour guided tour in the bay, walking barefoot on the humid sand, to discover the unique ecosystem of the bay (quick sands, tidal bores…).
At 5.30 pm we meet back at the coach to ride back to Nantes. Arrival in city center scheduled at 8.30 pm
