I took a tour from Paris. Both Mont Saint-Michel and the Loire Valley are accompanied by a guide, so you can go around efficiently without getting lost. The guide was in English. After visiting Mont-Saint-Michel on the first day, we parted ways with day trippers and boarded another bus to head for the Loire Valley. It was a four-star hotel and very clean, but there are no amenities such as shampoo, so bring your own. Breakfast was delicious no matter what we ate.

It was a long queue for the shuttle to get into the castle, then we decide to walk for 45 mins By the time we arrived there it was quite tired exploring around. We walked around the ground level and decided to go back by shuttle. It was a really nice surrounding. I would recommend to go for a visit if you have never been.

Wonderful trip, well organized and very interesting. Excellent tour guide (Leona) and driver (Ibrahim). Highly recommended

Great trip to St. Michel and the Chateau Country Region. The Hotel stay was A+

Very interesting chateau set in a lovely town . The tapestry was amazing
