Français
**** THIS WEBPAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION ****
Guided Tour of the Bay Around Mont Saint-Michel
Saturday, 23rd May 2026
Bookings and payments, please, by Saturday 9th (?) May 2026


A Description of the Day:
You are invited to join us for a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy.
The visit will allow you to explore the Mont itself before embarking on a guided walk around the shoreline at the base of the Mont.
Originally, this outing was to feature a guided walk across the bay, but we have had to change our plans. However, this new walk, around the base of the Mont, is suitable for all, including children. The walk will last for approximately 2¼ hours.
You will need to bring your own packed-lunch with you or visit one of the local restaurants, of which there are many.
EuroMayenne members will enjoy a reduced ticket price for the walk and a subsidy towards the cost of parking.
We do hope you can join us!
Join us for this activity!
