Some other highlights:

Looking right out to sea with just a sailing boat and Mont St Michel in the distance. This was our view as we ate a plate of oysters sitting on the sea wall in Cancale.

Looks lovely. Are you actually swimming in those seas? Where are you staying as you move around?

by Mary Scobie

Thanks for your questions, Mary. I swam for the first time today! I had got used to the idea of the sea being way to cold to even think of it and it is bound to get warmer. It was a bit English still.
We are staying in a mixture of self-catering Airbnb places, regular B&Bs/chambre d'hotes and cheap hotels. In Ireland and Scotland we also used hostels, some of which were great. It's getting harder to find good enough affordable places near to coast as the French summer takes off.
