Mont Saint-Michel

This morning we visited the famous Mont Saint-Michel

Then after a picnic in the Fougeres gardens we practised our French by interviewing the inhabitants. This was a daunting exercise undertaken with great aplomb by all concerned.

And we rewarded ourselves with crêpes in a local restaurant.

Mémorial de Caen

A beautiful day - morning was spent in the Mémorial de Caen

Camp Fire

An evening of music, magic and marshmallows.

Journey to France

And when we arrived we were introduced to the "magic Tree"

On our way

On the motorway just south of Carlisle.
