France holiday Day 12 - Mont St Michel and Bayeux

Alarm for 7am and on the road early to get to Mont St Michel which appeared like a floating castle. As we approached the mount the roads were covered in Tour de France graffiti from the recent race. The park and ride buses were very cool. As there was no turning area the buses were designed to drive forward and backward so the driver simply swapped ends with the steering wheel, lights and wing mirrors at both ends. The Mont itself was divided into two distinct areas: the first like a tacky Diagon Alley winding up to the second part: the abbey at the very top. We had an audio tour then reached the top courtyard to the amazing views of the bay which with the tide out looked like it stretched out for miles. Being a Sunday morning the bell was ringing for worship so nipped inside to see the service. Stayed to listen to the slightly rusty organ playing but still quite effective with the huge ceiling echoes. Otherwise the tour was quite ordinary explaining the history rather than the luxur

France holiday day 11 Escape to and from Nantes

Despite having packed everything the night before getting off Ile de Re island took alot longer than we'd expected. Traffic started queuing about 3 kms from the toll bridge (the toll we paid covered both ways so not too expensive really). It took nearly a hour more than we'd hoped to reach La Rochelle plus the satnav was sending us around the houses but eventually got on the right road for Nantes. However the traffic approaching Nantes was pretty crap too but it was due to everyone going via its bypass to another motorway. We were heading to Les Machines where the huge mechanical elephant was built. Easily found a carpark but had to take off the cycles as the barrier was too low. As we arrived and got in the queue a British family in front were asking about the elephant ride to which they said there was only two places available - we'd arrived too late! Instead we took the workshop tour, all in French so took some patience to wait and see the demo they were explaining othe

Holiday day 10 - Il de Re(st)

Despite our ideas of driving and camping elsewhere we decided to just rest and be lazy. Pretty crap sleep last night and camping as a full sightseeing holiday can take its toll so feet up and reading/blogging for most of the morning. After fixing a puncture we cycled north towards Les Portes which along the way was busy again with cycle traffic. I was actually glad to have the bell to get slower bikers out the way. Ended up on a good beach called Plage du Gros Jonc - wading through the shallow sea felt like walking in salad with the seaweed around my feet. Back at camp we cooked and packed the tent away ready for a quick getaway with the plan to see Les Machines at Nantes.

France holiday day 9 - Il de Re of sunshine

Image
With a good night's rest, the pre-lunch grumpiness was swept away by some cycling east to find a decent beach. We were grateful that the weather was kinder and cooler than yesterday's scorching hell. Il de Re is an island full of cycle paths criss-crossing to all destinations and the French embrace it with their family and pets. Along the way kids and dogs were towed in their wheeled baskets. After passing through Ars (yes, really), we stopped for lunch in La Couarde, a small quaint town at a hotel restaurant. The menu was a little restrictive for me but in the end had a combination of garlic bread and Spanish ham. Panache beer was served and Kerry had a mojito which went down very well. The service didn't have the same quality unfortunately. The first beach we came across was still a bit poor in the sense of seaweed everywhere so continued through the salt pan flats and rows of vineyards getting slightly lost by the lack of signs. Eventually we came across a lov
