Granville, Mont Saint-Michel, and Saint-Malo, Normandy and Brittany, France

My sister and I drove from Normandy into Brittany, visiting the walled cities of Granville and Saint-Malo, and the island of Mont Saint-Michel.

Roadside lunch on the way from Bayeux to Granville: cheese, crackers, jam, and salami

Granville - be sure to use the French, not Strine, pronunciation (that's my sister)

Quicksand!

It's really sticky mud - I had to turn back

Stuck in the mud?
