Staying in le petit Manoir at Servon.
Servon.
A tiny village a few km from le Mont San Michel. It's an organic dairy farm and the cherries are in season. Living off cider and cheese and cherries. All made onsite.
The bay of Mt St Michel has tides of 20 metres. When the tide is out the sheep graze on the salty grasses.
The sheep are then served at local restaurants as "pre salted lamb" and it tastes like nothing else.
Brilliant riding and running on tiny meandering roads through farms and churches. All with the magnificent abbey of Mont St Michel as a backdrop.
The tide comes in as a wave.
Pleasant morning ride in Bretagne
The undisputed star of the show. The magnificent Abbey of St Michel.
Otherwise known to all around here as le'abbeye.
This has now gone to number 2 on M's list of awesome places in the world. It pushed Reims cathedral and the Aya Sophia to 3rd and 4th.
The view from our Manoir. Le Abbey is only 8 km down the road. A quick run or even quicker ride.

Le petit Manoir from the cherry trees.
Very beautiful How are you guys ever going to return to work?
ReplyDeleteYou can buy salt bush grazed lamb from Victoria and they deliver Austalia wide. We have enjoyed it in the past. The company is called Lamtastic. You should try and stay o/n on The Mont as I believe once the tourists have left for the day the real magic appears!
How will we return to work? We just will. And lots of coffee to keep us going when our body is saying work time is bedtime. Staying on the Mont.....we had dinner there one night and yes. When the day crowds are gone it's really nice. Mark also cycled out there and rode around in early mornings when it was just the workers arriving and setting up. V nice.
