Vive a la France

---

We must have struck once a year weather for the ferry trip from Ireland to France, we didn’t even need to break open the travel sickness tablets.
There’s an instant change driving off the ferry at France, poppy’s and sculptured trees line the streets, the houses are more ornate and it’s so green.
We stopped by the abbey on Mont St Michel and wandered up the narrow cobbled streets lined with tourist shops leading to the Abbey. This place is amazing, a maze of steep steps, huge rooms and chapels, with gardens and terraces. We got there quite late which was great; we were almost the only people here.
Just up the road from the old Dinan port is the hostel, it’s gorgeous, at least on the outside; inside it’s kind of like a school you might see in an Eastern Bloc country. It’s an old mill so it’s right by a stream, with huge willow trees and flowers scattered in the grass.
