To Brittany and the Breton town of Fougeres
Fourgeres lunch and visit. We left Amboise today and headed to Brittany where we stopped at the Breton town of Fougeres for lunch. During our lunch stop in Fougeres, we visited the Château de Fougères, a 12th-century military fortress on an outcrop. We also toured the Eglise Saint-Léonard Catholic Church and the Beautiful public gardens just below the church overlooking the Château.

After lunch in Fougeres, we headed to the much anticipated Mont St-Michel. It really was a wow moment when we first spotted the Mont in the distance. |

Guided tour of Mont St-Michel
Tour of Mont St-Michel.
In the morning we had a guided tour of Mont St. Michel. Our local guide for the tour was Jessica Marcet. We started at the gate to the Mont and ended with a tour of the Mont St-Michel Abby. This was a very interesting tour with amazing facts and information. The Mont St-Michel visit was one of the highlights of the Rick Steves' Tour. |

After our tour of Mont St-Michel and the abby, we headed to Bayeux.
