Beauvoir and the Mount

What a stunning ride! After leaving the cafe we wound our way through beautiful countryside with very little traffic on the roads which, I have a feeling would be a bit different in 3 or 4 weeks time.

We have already passed loads of cyclists en route but all travelling in the opposite direction. This implys one of two things; we are slower than any other cyclist going in our direction (I don't count the old French guy on the crap bike and laiden with les legumes) or the other cyclists know something we don't.

The route today has been pretty flat and on our approach to Beauvoir we were treated to the magnificant sight of Mont St Michel. It really is stunning and we took a detour to cyle right down to it.

We found a nice little restaurant in Beauvoir to eat and sample the first French beer and we were at our 'Chambre d'hote' just after 2pm. We were greeted by the very friendly Madame and our room is spacious and comfortable.

The route for tomorrow takes us more in land and with more undulations is set to be a little more challenging - nothing a good meal, red wine and a nights sleep won't prepare us for.
