We headed off to Le Mont St. Michel. We arrived at about 8pm. There’s a big car park area for campervans. It’s 12 euro for the day but it’s free to stay overnight. The Mont looks quite spectacular at night. It’s only about a 5 minute walk from the campervan park.

Le Mont St. Michel is France’s second most popular attraction but at night time it is really pleasant.

We headed down the N11 and boarded at 8.45pm. The cabin was grand – clean and with enough room. There’s not a huge amount on board the ferry compared to some of the other lines.
