Private Tour to Mont Saint Michel and Landing Beaches
Description
Visit Mont Saint-Michel and the landing beaches in just one day with a real Norman guide! You will be accompanied by a professional driver/guide native of Normandy who will pick you up at the hotel aboard a sedan or a 7/9 seater minivan depending on the number of people. At the end of this day you will also be dropped off at your hotel. This is an ideal visit for travelers who are only staying a few days in France. First of all, set off to discover one of the seven wonders of the world steeped in history, more than 1000 years old, Mont-Saint-Michel! On the way back we will show you the most emblematic places of the Battle of Normandy and more precisely of the landing of June 6, 1944 (Overlord). We are committed to showing you Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach as well as the American cemetery of Colleville sur mer. An unforgettable day on the lands of William the Conqueror!

Our guide Romain was an expert english speaking guide. He picked us up at our hotel in Paris. We visited Mont Saint Michel/ Anglais and Landing Beaches. Romain was a perfect host, his knowledge of the history of the area made our trip unforgettable. Romain arranged a second tour with us! He picked us up at our hotel again and we headed to beautiful Montmartre, visited Sacre-Coeur, and a beautiful art fair. Finished our day with a bottle of wine and macarons from Carette!
This day trip was like a full separate trip in one day !! Well worth it . If you love Normandy like I do, Romain is from Normandy and made the best local guide ! He customized our trip to accommodate us . We got to experience Mont Saint Michel fully, even attended a mass at the Abbey there. Pointed out a restaurant in the village, which we dined at to taste their famous omelette. Then we drove onto Omaha Beach in the D-Day sites. He gave us a personalized tour of D- Day sites without the museums! We highly recommend this trip and Romain!!!
