Overview

Itinerary

1. Day 1: Paris — Mont St-Michel — Angers · 1h 15m

   One of the country's most iconic attractions, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed abbey of Mont St-Michel is perched on a rocky island amid a vast bay and encircled by stout ramparts and battlements.After fueling up with lunch at a local restaurant, follow your guide on a walk to the top of the hilly village, where you’ll then travel back in time as you enter the fascinating abbey

2. Day 1: Paris — Mont St-Michel — Angers · 1h

   Enjoy an independent visit of the Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey, exploring this remarkable medieval monument at your own pace. Wander through its historic halls, chapels, and cloisters while discovering over a thousand years of history and architectural achievement. From the abbey’s terraces, take in breathtaking views of the bay and surrounding landscape, making for an unforgettable experience at one of France’s most famous landmarks.
   Your Abbey entrance ticket is included, allowing you to explore this iconic monument at your own pace.

3. Day 1: Paris — Mont St-Michel — Angers · 30m

   Today, the abbey is still crowned by a gilded copper statue of Michael slaying a dragon, representing the triumph of good over evil.
   
   Visit the abbey’s cloister and refectory, and see how the ramparts have been added to support the Gothic monastery over the centuries. After your tour, wander the surrounding village at your leisure.

4. Day 1: Paris — Mont St-Michel — Angers · 1h

   After your tour, wander the surrounding village at your leisure. Walk around the abbey's ramparts, shop along the main street, visit the island's museums, and witness Mont St-Michel's most well-known and alluring feature: the extreme tides. At low tide, the island can be surrounded by bare sand for miles, but at high tide — just six hours later — sea water swells up and fills the bay, surrounding the whole island.

5. Day 2: Angers — Langeais — Amboise — Chenonceaux — Paris · 20m

   Start with a brief photo stop at Château d’Angers, hanging over the River Maine. Founded in the 9th century by the Count of Anjou and expanded in the 13th century, it is home to the Apocalypse Tapestry, the largest tapestry in the world

6. Day 2: Angers — Langeais — Amboise — Chenonceaux — Paris · 1h

   Then head to Château de Langeais, also founded by the Count of Anjou. This castle was attacked by the Count of Blois and then destroyed during the Hundred Years’ War. In the 15th century, King Louis XI rebuilt it into a grand château, and it now serves as one of the world’s best examples of late medieval architecture.

7. Day 2: Angers — Langeais — Amboise — Chenonceaux — Paris · 1h

   Straddling the River Cher, it served as an escape route during World World II from the Nazi occupied zone on one side of the river to the ‘free’ zone on the opposite bank.

8. Day 2: Angers — Langeais — Amboise — Chenonceaux — Paris · 45m

   The castle with its famous "double revolution staircase"
