3 Days Mont St Michel, Saint-Malo & Dol de Bretagne

Overview

Take this 3 days trip from Paris and explore the most beautiful part of France, its beautiful regions Normandie and Bretagne. Mont St Michel has fortifications since ancient times and since the 8th century AD has been the seat of the monastery. 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. Dol-de-Bretagne is a charming medieval town in Brittany. Stroll through its historic center, admire the impressive Saint-Samson Cathedral, and explore streets lined with traditional half-timbered houses. Once an important religious and trading center, Dol-de-Bretagne offers a peaceful and authentic glimpse into Brittany’s rich history, far from the usual tourist crowds.
