Citotel 'Le Patton' Avranches

Arret d'une heure à St-Malo.<br> <br> Cinq minutes après s'être stationné...il commence à pleuvoir. Mais jusqu'à là, ca allait.<br> Apres un certain temps, je réalise qu'il a un Énorme nuage d'une couleur douteuse qui approche un peu trop rapidement. 30 secondes apres avoir fait le commentaire, gros tonnerre et ca commence à tomber et même à grêler....<br> <br> Fait du séjour à St-Malo...

... gouter...Ca pu!!!! J&#8217;ai commandé plutôt au restaurant le rôtie de porc et la crème brulée, miam!<br><br> En étant en France, tu réalises vraiment comment on censure tout ce qu'on mange en Amérique. Ici, tu as les poules qui sont vendues avec leur tête et leurs pattes, les lapins frais (mort) du jour, les pattes, le nez, le cerveau&#8230;tu vois tout tout au marché!<br>

Sunday we drove 2 hours to Bretagne (or Brittany) to Mont St. Michel. There is an abbey on top which began construction in the 700s. It's very old and medieval. There were a ton of steps we had to climb up, but once we got to the top, it was well worth it. The views were picturesque ...

... s prices right now! Kim's Maison du Scooby came through with the goods again and produced a delicious Mussels Provincal and Oysters Kilpatrick for lunch. View was amazing as we parked at Pointe de Grouin and the blue waters of the Altantic shone in the background. The scenery around the Pointe reminded us a lot of Cornwall.

... the village of Mont Saint Michel population 42. The Mont built in 7th century and twined to Mount St Micheal in Cornwall. You would be forgiven for thinking they look very similar from a distance but up close Mont Michel is far grander, although the causeway is cooler in England!!! Having the place nearly completely to ourselves we checked out every nook and cranny and was captivated by its aura. This is how you would imagine castles to be when you ...

<br>We arrived in St Malo at 8am Sunday morning, and waited in the departure lounge for about 3 hours untill aymericks friend eddy turned up.<br>Playing out guitars in an empty terminal, hungover, eddy finally arrived and we drove down in his make shift old banger of a mobile home van. Eddys family are beautiful, he has 3 great kids and a beautiful cottqge in awsome village.

... br><br> Mont St. Michel was a small walled city, and the best attraction was the abbey. The abbey was grand, but the entrance fee was a little bit expensive. Nevertheless, I didn't hesitate to buy a ticket even a moment. The scale of the structures inside was huge. Everything including outside of the abbey, the city gate, shops and restaurants along the street up ...

We picked up our rented car and thank goodness it was a Saturday and the traffic was light so we had a relatively easy trip to the rue periphique and then west through Rouen and Caen down to Avranches. It was a very pleasant ride except for the numerous tolls. Oh well at least here you can ee that your toll money is being put to good use. The roads are fantastic with speed limits often of 130kph and traffic ...

Saturday morning IES took us on a little excursion to Mont Saint Michel, just on the border between Brittany and Normandy. It was absolutely spectacular. Mont Saint Michel is a very old abbey built on an isolated tidal rock surrounded by lots of sand, and when the tide is in, sea. It was quite a climb up the narrow streets lined with tourist shops and creperies to the top, but it was ...

Woke up at 3 am for a 4:30 am departure. Went by bus from Thistle to Portsmouth. Barry the bus driver had a neat accent! Unfortunately the bus overheated on the "mountain." Denis was in a quiet panic. We were all wondering, will we make the ferry? We did and took a shuttle bus to the Normandie which is huge! The ferry was a pleasant surprise. It's as big as a cruise ship. I went out on deck as we departed Portsmouth. Saw the Isle of Wight ...
