2 Days Saint Malo & Mont Saint Michel from Paris

Take this tour and explore the island Le Mont-Saint-Michel and the beautiful city Saint Malo. The island has fortifications since ancient times and since the 8th century AD has been the seat of the monastery. Between the fifth to the eighth century, Mont Saint-Michel belonged to the territory of Neustria and remained unconquered during the Hundred Years' War and the King Louis XI turned it into a prison. The legend says that the archangel Michael appeared in 708 to Aubert of Avranches, the bishop of Avranches, and instructed him to build a church on the rocky island. Saint Malo was founded by Gauls in the 1st century B.C. and the name is coming from a man said to have been a follower of Brendan the Navigator, Saint Malo or Maclou, an immigrant from what is now Wales. Both sites are UNESCO HERITAGE
