We wake at 8 a.m. to the captain announcing that the shore is 20 minutes away. Jumping out of bed, we pack as fast as we can and rush to the car. Before we know it, the boat comes to a stop, and we arrive in France. Driving of the boat we start on the road to…

We did a lot of driving during the day, but stopped in the town of Dinan. Dinan is an extremely well-preserved medieval town. We walked the cobblestone streets following Rick Steve’s self guided tour. Of course the tour took longer than estimated since every building cried out for a photograph. The homes of Dinan have…
