Honfleur

Arrival in Honfleur. Begin your walking tour of this charming town, known for its historic old harbor. Once the main defensive port of Normandy in the 15th century, Honfleur has since transformed into a picturesque resort town beloved by 19th-century artists. The town, first mentioned in 1027, has a rich history, changing hands during the Hundred Years' War and later becoming a hub for French corsairs who raided the English coast. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Honfleur thrived with trade from the American colonies. After the closure of the port, the town’s economy declined and it became a suburb of Le Havre. Today, it stands as one of Normandy's most popular tourist destinations. The walking tour will last about 1 hour. 11:00 AM: Departure to Mont Saint-Michel. The drive will take approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes (190 km).

Mont-Saint-Michel

Your guide will lead you through the narrow streets of the medieval village up to the Abbey. Whenever possible, we join a guided tour led by an expert on Mont Saint-Michel and its history. If this isn’t feasible, we provide audio guides for the Abbey visit. Settled by man in 709, the site features a medieval village and an impressive abbey fortress dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel. The construction of the Benedictine Abbey began in the 700s and continued through the 1200s, maintaining its medieval charm. It remains a pilgrimage and tourist hotspot, attracting around 4 million visitors annually. After the Abbey tour, enjoy some free time to explore Mont Saint-Michel and have lunch
