Fougeres and St Malo

Well this day was a bust, mostly due to us. We took our time getting ready this morning and didn’t leave the campsite until noon. When we did finally head out we ended up taking the wrong road and then had to back track. When we arrived in Fougeres the campsite we intended to stay at was full, but we aren’t even sure if it was the campsite. It was the wrong name and it was located in an industrial zone. We went to a McDonalds to use the WiFi and before long we decided to head to St Malo as it had a free place to stay. The drive to Fougeres was a long one, so we weren’t looking forward to this drive. It was around 6’oclock when we arrived in St Malo but the site didn’t open until June 1st unlike what our book told us. On a map it showed the location to other parking areas for campers. St Malo is a popular destination for UK citizens as it’s just across the channel. We never did get to see it as we decided to skip this stop as well. We drove another 1 ½ hours to Le Mont St Michel. Where there is a campsite just 2.5 km away. We were very grateful to be resting at a campsite after the drive we just did. It might have only been 367 km, but it took 8 hours to do it. Sometimes we wonder if avoiding the toll roads in France is really worth it.
