Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel - the abbey is one of the top visited monuments
in France. It is a
UNESCO World Heritage sight unscripted in 1979.  It is most spectacular and if you feel fit to climb the hundreds of steps to its summit, its worth it. The quaint little village leading up to the abbey is charming with cafes and shops to find mementos to take back home.

Bruges, Belgium -is called the 'The Venice of the North' a beautiful medieval city with canals wandering throughout the town, cobbled streets like those of hundreds of years ago, will be a perfect day get-away trip from Paris.  Bruges was once a mighty international trade center, but when the shifting silt closed the harbor off from North Sea, over the centuries it soon became the poorest city in Belgium.  But tourism has saved this town, its beauty and charm, peacefulness are pluses, but so is the food and chocolate!     PURCHASE VOUCHERS HERE
