See the Mont-Saint-Michel from a different angle

Posted on: April 12th, 2012 by Bruno
Cycling or driving from Mont-Saint-Michel is now a thing of the past

Work has already begun, so vehicle access directly to Mont Saint-Michel–including bicycles– isn’t possible anymore. But the new dam is built, so visitors willing to park there and shuttle in will be able see Mont-Saint-Michel in a whole new light right away!

One enormous advantage of parking by the new dam is that it offers amazing views of Mont-Saint-Michel from approximately 900 meters away. The distance is post card and photo-perfect. Be sure to spend some time looking for the best “photo op” while you’re there.


Getting to Dordogne is easier than ever!

Cycling along the Dordogne river from Beynac

With a 4 ½ hour train ride from the Austerliz train station, some feel that Dordogne is far-away place that requires too much valuable vacation time.

Think twice… It would be a shame to overlook this amazing cycling destination! Taking a train from Paris is not the only way to get to Dordogne! With new air service from some European hubs to Brive airport and better service to Toulouse airport, travelers have now more time-saving choices than ever!
