Chateau de La Ballue where we are staying is a beautiful, wonderful chateau originally built in the 17th century. We are not far from Mont Saint Michel so our goal this morning was to get a relatively early start so that we would get to Mont Saint Michel before the crowds.
We did pretty well. We were there just after nine and took the shuttle bus from the parking lot to the base of the island. Our timing was perfect because a free English tour started just after we got to the abbey.
On our way back to Chateau de la Bellue we stopped for coffee. Then we went back to the chateau, rested a bit and explored the gardens.
For dinner we went into Combourg which is about 16 kilometers away. We ate at L’Hypothèse. The wood paneled interior was cozy. They had a great grill menu and a long pizza menu. The whole meal was fantastic.
