The highlight of your trip will undoubtedly be your arrival at Mont-Saint-Michel, whose remarkable abbey is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most visited attractions in France.
Along the way, you can stop at the Christian Dior Museum in Granville, as well as at the beach in Deauville, which has been famous since 1923 for its popular wooden boardwalk known as Les Planches. Hundreds of miles of historic scenery stretch out before you!
