Hi there all!
We have three spare days after our Visit to Mt St Michel, 4 ladies travelling (I'm in charge, so I want to impress) would you recommend to stay in Rennes, Lemans or Chartres for these days, which is prettier or has a nice atmosphere? It will be early August...
thanks Madeleine
Chartres is certainly impressive, with several things to see and do. (I've not been to the others). They're all quite a distance from Mont-St-Michel. Why not just travel the Loire Valley? - Saumur/Anjou/Chenonceau etc.
Chartres is my hands-down favorite, but 3 days is a bit long. I agree with the post above. Why not tour the Loire Valley. You could base in Tours and visit a bunch of castles. If you got tired of castles, you could visit a vineyard or two . . . or three. At night Tours is very lively and you'd have lots of fun.
Just a thought. Whatever you decide to do, have a wonderful trip.
Rennes is only 65 kms from Mont st. Michel and Le Mans is only an hour on the train from there. Both have lovely old medieval centres. Chartres, of course does have the cathedral. You could actually fit all 3 in at a push. Depends where you're off to afterwards.
People are rather friendly here, but you must really try and speak French. English is hardly spoken here.
Shops are closed at noon time and open again afterwards, shops are closed on sunday (the whole day) and monday morning. For buying food, you must go to the Intermarché (huge supermarket with normal prices).
