St Malo & Mont Saint Michel

After our big day at Puy du Fou the next day we had lots of driving to do and Mum and Dad wanted to show us 2 towns.

The first town was called Saint Malo. Saint Malo was made out of stone and there was a wall around it that you could walk on. We tried to find a place to eat and we managed to get some bacon, eggs and chip but they'd run out of bacon and we had to have ham, how annoying. We went to the beach and saw an old looking castle that was on an island. My dad said to me if you stay on the sand for too long the tide comes up and you're trapped.

This is a picture of the fort on the island. If you stay there when the tide comes in you get trapped.



After Saint Malo we went to a very special place called Mont St Michel. Mont St Michel is an island with a very old church and abbey on it. The monks used to live in there. We went into the Abbey and had to walk up lots of steps to get into it. The Abbey was very big with lots of rooms and arches. On the rest of the island the buildings are very old, made of wood and very close together. On the way back I bought a keyring that says Mont Saint Michel. 



This is me on the way over to Mont Saint Michel and looking up to my Mum in one of the gardens at the Abbey


I had a good day at Mont Saint Michel I really liked looking at the old church and seeing where the monks lived.
