3 Days in Normandy & Brittany – Mont-Saint-Michel & Saint-Malo
Discover two of France’s most iconic coastal landmarks on a 3-day journey from Paris, featuring the legendary Mont-Saint-Michel and the historic walled city of Saint-Malo
Take this 3 days trip from Paris and explore the most beautiful part of France, its beautiful regions Normandie and Bretagne.
The island of Mont Saint Michel has fortifications since ancient times and since the 8th century AD has been the seat of the monastery. Between the fifth to the eighth century, Mont Saint-Michel belonged to the territory of Neustria and remained unconquered during the Hundred Years' War and the King Louis XI turned it into a prison. The legend says that the archangel Michael appeared in 708 to Aubert of Avranches, the bishop of Avranches, and instructed him to build a church on the rocky island.
Saint Malo was founded by Gauls in the 1st century B.C. and the name is coming from a man said to have been a follower of Brendan the Navigator, Saint Malo or Maclou, an immigrant from what is now Wales.
Both sites are UNESCO HERITAGE
Also, in this voyage you will have the chance to eat oysters in Cancale, the capital of oysters in France.
