3-day itinerary between Normandy and Bretagne, starting from the 5-star Ermitage Hôtel Mont Saint-Michel in Beauvoir.
Published in Exceptional stays - Activity ideas - Plan my trip
Between Normandy and Brittany, the Ermitage Hôtel 5-star Mont Saint-Michel in Beauvoir occupies a rare position: Mont Saint-Michel on one side, the Emerald Coast on the other, the bay all around. It is the ideal starting point for a three-day itinerary that radiates without rushing: Mont one day, Saint-Malo and Cancale another, Dinan and the bay afterward.
Three nights on site, one guiding principle: your pace, and a concierge to compose everything.
Here is the framework, day by day.
Day 1 — Mont Saint-Michel and its bay
Start with the essential, but at your time, and approach Mont Saint-Michel early in the morning or late in the day, when the crowd dissipates! Visit the abbey, stroll on the ramparts, then gain height over the bay!
Crossing the bay on foot or on horseback
Nothing replaces a crossing of the bay on foot, accompanied by a guide, between quicksands and high tides. It is one of the best ways to understand this ever-changing landscape.
Another option available to you is to cross on horseback for the more experienced.
The evening
Return to the Ermitage Hôtel 5-star Mont Saint-Michel in Beauvoir and dine at La Table de l’Ermitage, listed by the MICHELIN Guide to gently extend the day.
Day 2 — Saint-Malo and Cancale, the Emerald Coast
Head to Brittany, a short distance away.
Saint-Malo
Discover the corsair city by walking its famous ramparts, granite alleyways, and beautiful beaches. Allow a good half-day to capture its atmosphere!
Cancale
A few kilometers away, Cancale, the oyster capital. Sit facing the port for a great tasting while observing the oysters and tides! The return can follow the coast, with a stop at the Pointe du Grouin for the exceptional 180° view.
Day 3 — Granville and the hinterland
For the last day, head inland.
Grandville the Monaco of the North
Perched on its rocky headland at the entrance of the bay of Mont Saint-Michel, Granville cultivates a unique identity. A morning of strolling, the visit of the Christian Dior Museum, the famous 20th-century French designer with worldwide renown, a seafood lunch, and you leave satisfied.
Returning via the bay
On the way back, let the concierge suggest one last confidential stop: a village, a viewpoint, a producer's table, far from the usual routes!
The role of the concierge: compose rather than tick
