08.09.07. Good-bye to Paris this morning and on our way to Normandy and Mont St Michel. Caught the TGV, very fast, train to Rennes to pick up our hire car. Got picked up at Montparnasse railway station by some very pissed French men on their way home after the rugby. This train does go very fast, 300kmh. 2 hours later and we were in Rennes, went to McDonalds and continued on after finally sorting out our accommodation, bit of confusion there. Michelle drove, t...
