About this activity

The only shore excursion from Cherbourg combining the UNESCO tidal abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel with a reserved table at a local Norman crêperie — two bucket list experiences in one extraordinary day.

Mont-Saint-Michel rises from the tidal flats of Normandy like a medieval dream — a Benedictine abbey built on a rocky island, rising 80 meters above the sea, visited by over 3 million travelers every year. Your licensed English-speaking guide brings 1,300 years of history to life as you climb through the medieval village to the abbey church, the Gothic cloister and the breathtaking views over the bay.

Lunch is a reserved table at a hand-picked local crêperie — a true taste of Normandy, included in your tour price.
