Beginning with hotel pickup in Paris, this private three-day journey combines Gothic architecture, Breton heritage, and one of France’s most iconic landmarks. The first stop is Chartres to visit Notre-Dame Cathedral, celebrated for its sculpted façade, medieval labyrinth, and luminous stained glass, including the famed “Chartres blue.” The day continues to Rennes for a guided exploration of its timber-framed historic center, Thabor Park, Parliament building, and Saint-Pierre Cathedral before arriving in Saint-Malo, where ramparts and the Saint-Vincent Cathedral reveal the city’s maritime legacy.

Day two features Dinan’s medieval streets and hilltop views over the Rance River, the dramatic seaside fortress of Fort La Latte, and the elegant 18th-century gardens of Montmarin.

The final day is devoted to Mont Saint-Michel, including a guided visit of the abbey’s Romanesque church and Gothic cloisters, followed by time to explore the village. The experience concludes with the return drive to Paris.
