We are on our first adventure to the continent. We sailed on Tuesday night from Portsmouth to St Malo on board the Bretagne with Brittany Ferries. It was a 12 hour trip (though in reality it could be sailed in less than half that time). We were well and truely in steerage, disconcertingly below the water line. The kids all felt very seasick and I got about 3 hours sleep so we were happy to put our feet on French soil.
The first stop was Mont Saint Michel - the kids felt they were in a medieval movie set. We did a tour of the abbey with a very cranky French woman who clapped every time someone raised their voice. She was scary!
