... because we did not understand their map. When we booked in i asked about getting to Mont St Michael the receptionist told us there was only one bus a day and it did not return untill after our train was scheduled to leave to Paris tomorrow..another dissapointment. We could not book in untill 4:00 so we left our bags in the luggage room and walked along the beach to the old part of town, which was an ...

Arret d'une heure à St-Malo.

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....

Fait du séjour à St-Malo...

On a passé une bonne partie de la journée à se promener dans le Mont-St-Michel. C'est vraiment spécial comme endroit, isolé du monde, mini village au milieu de…et bien rien! La marée était basse lorsqu'on est allé mais il parait qu'elle peut monter aussi rapidement que le galop d'un cheval. Je me demande si c'est vrai :s Il faudrait bien que je vérifie!

The old city, known as Intra Muros (within the walls), is set out on a point at the end of the long beach, between the marina and port and the rest of the town. Lots of narrow streets filled with bars, cafes, restaurants, shops, street artists and musicians.

At 14:00 p.m. we arrive at Mont-Saint-Michel, the rocky tidal island situated one kilometer off the country's north coast, approximately on the borderline between Normandy(Normandie) and Brittany(Bretagne). The place is very beautiful cause its abbey on the top ...
