Bon Jour! That first morning was chaotic and upsetting; there was confusion;I arrived earlier than anyone else but was attended to only after several others; i didn't feel welcome. Once I had my papers in order it was not clear where to wait for the bus. The trip itself was good but most of us found it difficult to actually get onto the bus because its steps are huge and one needs the strength of a 20-year-old.

It was a lovely trip, but I think we could go to St. Malo by staying nearer to the Mont Saint-Michel rather than driving all the way close to Anger. The second day seemed little to "relaxed". But in overall, it was a good trip.
preceeding
  • visiter l abbaye du mont saint michel
  • visiter le chateau de cheverny
  • visiter les jardins de villandry
