Not having time to write about August autos as the main trip to receive a new assignment: to make the route from Normandy and Brittany, because he participated in the race at Le Mans and I, as his wife, was believed to be present and be a leader in the support group.
To make me not bored, he arranged the following:
Because I was already in this city, he rented a car for two days with a distance of 550 km.
Book a hotel in Fougeres and San Malo.
I booked a table at one of the restaurants in Cancale, where this pride was given solely for the extraordinary oysters served in the royal palace since the 16th century.
The rest of the organizational moment he shifted to my fragile shoulders.
I hesitantly asked if we could see the prehistoric stone at Carnax, which is still the largest group of menhirs in the world and would be very close. I was reminded of the first point, which really put aside such opportunities.
After burning, I began drawing another route, which I presented to your attention. Maybe someone will complete, and someone will use their trip.
We left Le Mans and the first stop was Sile-Le-Guillaume.
The second is Mayen.
Inspection of these cities takes 15 minutes - one castle, one cathedral, one hotel in a historic building, such as the Château d'Aronne. A photo heel and some happy sighs and you can continue.
Another thing - Erne. In the district there were two large dolmen, but I was worried there would be no time to find them in the forest. It's better to leave your strength at Fougères and its famous castle.
From him the next day in the morning to Mount San Michel. I want to see in one day both ups and downs. With water levels, we are not lucky - they promise a coefficient of 49. But we must have more than 70, when the mountain turns into an island during high tide. And even better than 100! But this happens once a month and then not everyone. Tides San Michel can be seen at
here. Photos of San Michel and Fougères are not arranged, they are already known by everyone.
Dole de Brittany
It is impossible not to stop to see Shan Dolan. As they say, this is the most beautiful French menhir. In the Pleguer, which is also along the road, there is a 4 meter Pierre du Domaine, but this is how it will happen over time.
Then oysters in Cancale.
At Saint-Malo, François Rene de Chateaubriand was born and died. One of his novels is dedicated to "the adventures of the last abencerrages" and I try to describe the destruction of the Arab knights in my story of Granada, so there may be a desire to see the writer's grave. Moreover, this place is beautiful - oceanfront.
The trip back to Le Mans must take two and a half hours and around 250 km. But I still want to see on the road:
Dinan
List of attractions
This is in the list of "cities and regions of French art and history", as well as Rennes, Lavelle and Fougeres. Includes 70 protected sites.
Rennes
Literally a few kilometers from him, Chateau Giron.
As the name suggests, there is a castle, a name that says nothing about our wiki.
Vitre in Île-et-Vilaine
List of attractions
There are many things to see, but you have to stop at least because of Vitre Castle, where the film "Secrets of the Burgundy Court" was shot. And also here is Madame de Sevigne castle, with the letters I worked in France last year. The castle where his daughter lives, the majority of his letters are addressed, is accessed by a bicycle from our house.
Lavelle
List of attractions
Old bridge with fortresses, fortress walls, gates and towers. Why in just 24 hours?
