Private Day Trip to Mont-Saint-Michel and Rouen from Paris

Leave the hustle of Paris behind and embark on a full-day private tour to Normandy’s historic gems. Start your morning with a comfortable pickup from your hotel and a scenic drive to Rouen — a city of Gothic cathedrals, cobbled alleys, and Joan of Arc’s legacy. There, you’ll join a group guided walking tour led by a local expert. Then continue by private vehicle to Mont-Saint-Michel — a UNESCO World Heritage Site rising from the tidal sands. After a relaxing lunch, enjoy a group tour of the magnificent abbey with a professional local guide. You’ll also have free time to explore the village at your own pace before returning to Paris in the evening. This is a thoughtfully curated experience combining private comfort and cultural immersion.
