With 5 days left until Paris, we decided on a quick detour to see Le Mont St-Michel. Our 250 km trip northwest took us just into Brittany for the next 2 days where we stayed at St Malo. On the way we had a photo stop at the lovely town of Sablé-sur-Sarthe. Brittany is quite distinct from the rest of France in its architecture and culture, and we noticed this even in our brief stay.
 Sablé-sur-Sarthe |  Typical Breton stone house |  Cyclist proudly flying the Breton flag |  A very bizarre thing … the balls in the trees are Mistletoe cling-ons! |
