Brittany Normandy – area of gentle  terrain located northwest of Paris, an area formed by history, the sea and farming.  A visit to historic Mont-Saint-Michel is one of the most visited places in France and a must for you as well.

We made advance reservations and were rewarded with well located hotels at reasonable prices.
