We completed our walk in Brittany and returned home to Vancouver yesterday. Our trip worked out as planned. I do have two comments. The use of a GPS is a good idea but the GPS assigned to us was a bit outdated and small. When you asked me if it was OK to stay in the same hotel at Mont Saint Michel for three nights and the hotel(La Digue) also insisted to include demi pension for all nights. I said it was OK since we do not want to waste time to look for a restaurant after a day’s walk. Well the hotel has only two choices in its demi pension menu and they are not up to par. We could of course up grade to a better menu by paying more. Sometimes I think the hotel did this (demi pension included) in order to make more money because most clients would upgrade to a better menu. This did not work for my wife. She refused to dine in the restaurant on the third night. On the other hand, we had a very good supper in the hotel at Cancale (La Mere Champlain). It demi pension menu is a small version of its a la carte menu. Overall we rate this trip a success. We have done two other hiking/walking trips in France (Avignon and the Dordogne) and we rate the Brittany walk after these two trips. Many thanks for arranging the trip.

I have had a great time. I loved the route from St. Malo to Cancale.. It was a beautiful day, sunny, no rain at all. Walking has been a great way to see the country. I really hated that it rained so much on Sunday, but I knew that was a risk for the region and time of year. However, I was able to come in and see Mont St. Michel.It is really a beautiful experience. The hotels and restaurant recommendations have been so great.... and everyone I have encountered, super sweet. The GPS and directions worked great! You all did a fantastic job with those! This has been an incredible journey... and I am already thinking about coming back and perhaps doing another walking tour. Thanks for all you have done! -Ashley
