We took the day trip from Bayou to Mont St. Michel. Theo was our driver and guide. He was able to answer every question that our small group presented to him, and remained very patient even when some of us lagged behind. The history and architectural intricacies of the island and the Abbey We’re presented in a very engaging way. It’s with a wonderful day, and when we will always remember.
