Normandy and Mont Saint-Michel Day Trip from Paris

Your tour begins at Boulevard Pershing

Meet your guide in front of the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile to board your comfortable coach. As you leave the city behind, watch the urban landscape transform into the rolling green pastures and apple orchards of the French countryside.

Reflect on history at Omaha Beach

Walk the wide, sandy shores where Allied forces landed on June 6, 1944. Your guide explains the strategic importance of this sector during the liberation of Europe while you view the Les Braves memorial sculptures honoring the brave soldiers who fought here.

Visit the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc

Next, make a short visit to the dramatic clifftop situated between Omaha and Utah beaches. You will see the massive craters left by naval bombardments and the remains of German bunkers while learning how US Rangers scaled these 100-foot walls during the invasion.

Reach the village of Mont Saint-Michel

Arrive at this famous fortified island, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its medieval architecture and massive stone walls. You will have free time for lunch; we recommend trying the famous omelet soufflé at La Salicorne restaurant in the local Caserne area.

Explore the Mont Saint-Michel Abbey

After lunch, head inside the spectacular eighth-century monastery that sits at the very top of the island. You will walk through the Gothic halls and chapels that served as a site for pilgrims for centuries, then step onto the terraces for views of the surrounding sandbanks.
