Rick Steves Tour ‘ Paris & the Heart of France in 11 Days Tour’ Question

Hi,

We recently signed up for the Paris & the Heart of France in 11 Days Tour in 2025 and I have a logistics question regarding the one-night stay on Mont St-Michel. Does the tour guide ask you to leave any large bags on the bus and to take only a small bag for that one night?

This will be our 6th Rick Steves tour—so I know we need to be ready for anything. When we went to Venice for two days on the Best of Europe in 21 Days tour, they did just this—asked us to take a small pack or tote bag and leave our larger suitcase on the bus. We had a bit of a scramble that time as we only had our small day packs. We want to be more prepared for this trip!

Any insight into your experiences on this tour are welcome!!

Thanks!

Debbie

I agree with MaryH. On my long ago tour some went ahead and brought their suitcases with them and it’s a real pain. You are on a little shuttle bus over from the bus parking to the entrance to MSM and then you can imagine everything is uphill from there (or down as you leave). Just so much easier to have a small overnight bag.

And easier than Venice on the 21 day tour since it’s just one night!
