One of my goals when I went back to France was to see Mont Saint Michel. I found the company…read moreWestcapades online and booked my trip through them. It was a trip to three walled towns--St. Malo, Mont St. Michel, and Dinan. There were three of us on the tour--a mother and daughter from San Francisco and me. We were emailed our TGV tickets to go from the Gare Montparnasse to St. Malo. We were met by the owner/tour guide extraordinaire at the station in St. Malo. Geraldine was superb and I recommend the company because of how well organized she was. She gave us maps of each place with a suggested route noted with a marker. We had a given amount of time to explore each of the three places and she was at the meet up spot each time on time. At the end of our day in Brittany/Normandy, she drove us to the train station in Rennes which would make a shorter train ride back to Paris. I recommend this company highly. Geraldine is very knowledgeable and she runs her tours with precision! Merci Geraldine!
