Booking a trip around France during the Easter holidays required plenty of pre-planning, as the country has a reputation for 'shutting down' during public holidays. This 4 day, 3 night trip had been booked about three months in advance, as the picturesque abbey of St Michel (part of our travel short-list after watching an episode of Getaway) was situated on a small rocky island (Mont) practically in the middle of nowhere (west Normandy). As this was also our 3rd trip to France, we knew that we were in for some gastronomic delights, great scenery and to our surprise, really friendly locals.
