Today, the Abbey houses nun and monk communities that pray daily and features a great lookout at its West Terrace, where you can capture beautiful views of the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay. Next, head to the Honfleur--a city dubbed as the "City of Painters" due to its stark influence on painters who found the picturesque town inspirational, including famous French landscape painter Eugene Boudin. Here, you'll follow your guide to explore historical sites of this storybook-like town, including the 15th century-built historical monument of St. Catherine's Church--France's largest wood-built church that features a separate steeple.

Your tour will take you to explore the cobblestone streets of Honfleur, where you'll find a whole host of charming boutiques, half-timbered homes, and quaint restaurants. Stop for a local product tasting to whet your palate with local favorites like Pommeau, Cider, or Calvados--an artisan brandy made with a variety of flavors, including apple and peach.
