Normandy Day 1

Day one of our Ferrandi class trip to the Normandy region of France started by meeting at Gare Montparnasse at 6AM. Luckily for me, I live very close to the train station and it was a mere three minute bike ride.

A TGV ride and transfer later, we arrive in St. Malo and did a hurried tour of the town. Its quite cute and reminded me a bit of Rouen. We lunched not too far away and this meal was probably one of the best of the trip. When by the ocean, you'd be a fool not to order seafood.




We then went on to Mont Saint-Michel. Unfortunately it was so foggy that you couldn't even see anything from the parking lot.


Though foggy and cold, the visit to the abbey was still fun. It boasts gorgeous columns, ceilings, and a cloister.
