About this experience
Take a seat in one of our comfortable and air-conditioned minivan Mercedes, and let yourself be driven by a professional and local driver. Discover the Mont Saint-Michel, and the port of Cancale. This tour of 8 hours is offered from Rennes with a return to Rennes. Important: our drivers are not guides and therefore do not provide guidance on sites.
"Wonder of the West", the Mont Saint-Michel stands in the heart of an immense bay invaded by the biggest tides of Europe. Between Normandy and Brittany, this grandiose site is one of the most visited sites in France (2.5 million visitors a year). The Mount and its bay are classified as World Heritage by UNESCO since 1979.
Resolutely turned towards the sea, Cancale lives to the rhythm of its fishing port which one discovers when arriving by the road of the ledge. With its national label "remarkable site of taste", Cancale attracts all gourmets as the quality of its environment inspires the best chefs in the region.
