This an all day excursion. It will take you about 4.5 to 5 hours to drive there from Paris in a very comfortable bus. You will have about 4 hours to spend touring Mont-Saint-Michel, which is spectacular, before heading home. It is a long drive but well worth it once you arrive.

The 5-hour one-way bus is comfortable, and there is a 25-minute break once on the way, and you can also eat. There is a lot of walking on slopes and stairs, but there is plenty of time so you can take a break and watch it slowly. There were participants from various countries, 20-30% of whom were Japanese, and it was fun to interact with them. There are not many toilets, but there are some in the area where you pass the ticket to enter, so it's easy to go.

Mont St Michele is really spectacular! The history, the view, the monastery! 10/10 recommend to visit and this tour was an easy one day trip to do so from Paris. It is a long day - more time in bud than at destination. But worth it ! Our guide was so informative and really animating the tour. Thanks Florence !
