Consider taking a day trip to one of the most iconic sites in all of France. The Mont Saint Michel is an island off the coast of Normandy, in the English Channel. Around its base are medieval walls and towers above which rise the clustered buildings of the village with the ancient abbey crowning the mount.
Who hasn't heard of the legend of King Arthur? It originates in the magnificent Brocéliande Forest, among moors and lakes. The mere mention of this place conjures up a wonderful world populated by the fairy Vivien, Merlin the Wizard, Lancelot and others.
