Lundi

Yesterday was a down day, hence, no post. In the evening, though, we had drinks with Oliver Gee, of the Earful Tower Podcast. Oliver is an expat Australian, living in Paris with his wife and son. If you are an English-speaking Francophile, listen to his podcast. Also, he and his wife have written a number of books. Their first book, Paris on Air, is about their experiences in Paris. This book was followed by three delightful children’s books, written by Oliver and illustrated by his wife, Lina. 

Today, though, was a big day…our trip to Mont-Saint-Michel. Mont-Saint-Michel is located on the English Channel, in Normandy and/or Britney. The two provinces have argued for ages about this issue (it is probably in Normandy). It is a World Heritage Site and is one of the most popular destinations in France. We left Paris at 7:00AM and returned at 9:00PM…14 hours. Travel time, each way, is over 4 hours. It’s spectacular. ​Notwithstanding, no plan to do this again!
