Starting from the magical Mont Saint Michel, where we went early and avoided the crowds, then seeing the oyster farms and having sea food for lunch in Cancale, to the beautiful old town and walls of Saint Malo with its lively atmosphere and beautiful beaches. I think Quentin did a great job in planning this tour so one gets to see both more touristic but also more local hidden gems. Quentin is very friendly and it was nice to get more information about the region through conversations with him. He was also kind to take photos. Overall very good…”
