Hotel Altos 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...

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&#8230;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!<br><br> J'ai même ...

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.

... 12 years old. Back at Scooby we watched the stars and bid goodnight to the glorious spot lit Mont. <br> Mist and cloud greeted us this morning and so our hopes of getting a few sunrise photos of the Mont were dashed. Morning also bought the hordes of tourists and opening of all the tacky tourist shops. The over commercialisation of this site was akin to turning on the ugly lights at the disco! The ambiance so different from last nights reconnaissance mission.

<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.

Today the sun is shining and we're off to see Mont St. Michel and the D-Day Beaches. Hmmm, we were stalled due to a rail strike so we rented a car for 2 days. It was good to have the freedom but didn't realize at to what cost. We had a little Renault Clio 4 cylander and drove 600 km. We filled the tank at a cost of 71 euros which equates to 114.00 cdn - ouch, plus we paid 15 euros for highway toll fees & the cost of the car ...

On the third day in France, finally, I payed a visit to Mont St Michel. It was a little bit far from Paris and only one way took me 4 hours by TGV and a local bus. When I changed a train to a local bus at Rennes, I couldn't find the bus terminal. So I asked a French girl near the train station. Although she told me that she might not be able to tell me where it was ...

... were then ordered off the area by a powerful voice that spoke several languages. We wondered if it was God but then realized it was a loudspeaker. Seems the tide was coming in and we had to move or face imminent death. So we walked through the tiny street for about 30 minutes then returned t have dinner at a small restaurant overlooking the Mont. Food was OK but not great. Supposed to be salt lamb - from ...

... windy!! Found some chairs on the aft deck and it was very pleasant. Balanced diet: breakfast was roll and croissant, cheese and canned oj. Lunch was fries and a strawberry torte! Trip time about 7 hours.<br><br>Arrived in Caen. There's a beach near the ferry. Took a bus to Dinard. Dinner was chicken and linguine (again - but a different sauce and quite good) and our table had 2 bottles of Muscadet wine. We walked around the town a ...
