Le Mont itself is an historical and architectural marvel, if a bit touristy. You're visiting at the right time of year, though. Shouldn't be too crowded.

I found St. Malo quite touristy. Be sure to visit nearby Dinan. This town survived the bombings of WWII and remains much as it stood in the middle ages. Beautiful.

Will research the dates of the tidal bore in la Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel, (a must experience, if the dates coincide.)

Will Post again.

Thanks for the tips. Dinan is hereby added to our hitlist of places to visit. Please keep us up to date on the tidal bore - for the rest of the chaps and chapettes on the trip it would make a welcome change from Ady The Constant Bore! There that's before any of you lot get that quip in!

as official wine taster for the trip (er... self elected) been looking at a little Calvados tasting mini adventure today...
