Mont Saint Michel

 

Today we visited Mont Saint Michel.  It was an awesome site on approach and it did not disappoint.  We wandered little narrow streets that made their way to the main Abbey.  We spent an hour looking around the abbey before making our way back down to the car park.
We then had a 4.5hr drive ahead of us to reach our next stop of Blois.  Along the way we pulled into a rest area where we ate our lunch.  The drive in some parts was quite beautiful - passing through cute villages and fields of canola.

Upon arriving in Blois we struck it lucky with getting a car park right out front of the hotel.  We then walked around Blois Chateau and the old town.  We had some beers and dinner before returning to the hotel for an early start tomorrow to explore the Chateau's in the region.
