Door-to-door pickup in a Mercedes with a driver and optional live guide for the full day. The Abbey includes entrance and guided tour; Dior's Museum entry is covered. Travel time is built into the duration.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from your accommodation and heads towards Mont Saint-Michel. You'll spend time exploring the island's medieval buildings and attending a guided tour of the Abbey—or use an audioguide if you prefer independence. After, you'll travel to Granville to tour the villa where Dior grew up, wandering through rooms where the designer spent his formative years and out into the manicured gardens overlooking the Channel. The 14 hours includes all travel time between sites. A live guide can narrate throughout, or you can absorb things at your own pace. Lunch and refreshments are on you.
Good to know
Group size affects pricing—more participants reduce per-person costs. The tour suits all fitness levels but Mont Saint-Michel involves walking cobbled streets and stairs. Public transport is available nearby if needed. Bring spending money for meals and souvenirs.
