What you can expect

This two-day excursion from Paris whisks you away to the iconic Mont Saint-Michel and the renowned castles of the Loire Valley, Langeais and Chenonceaux, with a delightful wine tasting experience thrown into the mix.

On the first day, your journey begins early in the morning towards Mont Saint-Michel. By around midday, you'll find yourself savouringly enjoying a meal filled with regional delicacies while taking in the view of the bay. Following this, a guide will accompany you as you delve into the site's mediaeval streets, charming shops, and formidable ramparts before ascending to the abbey perched at the summit. Your Abbey entrance ticket is included, allowing you to explore this iconic monument at your own pace. As the afternoon wanes, you'll make your way to Angers for an overnight stay at a hotel where dinner is served.

Day two kicks off post-breakfast when you venture into the heart of the Loire Valley. A fleeting stop allows you to admire the exterior of Angers Castle. The first port of call is Château de Langeais, where a guided tour unveils its mediaeval keep and historic interiors, brought vividly to life by wax figures. You're then given some free time for lunch in Amboise. The afternoon unfolds with a visit to Château de Chenonceau, celebrated for its graceful architecture that stretches across the Cher River and its opulently adorned rooms. Your return to Paris is scheduled for the evening.
