Bikepacking France - 300 km to Le Mont Saint-Michel

Published 2022-10-23
After spending 10 days in La Rochelle, I hopped on my bike, to cycle to Le Mont Saint Michelle.
Watch me struggling with finding drinking water and loosing my beloved sunglasses just to be gifted with one of the most amazing sunrises I have ever seen. Just Wow!
Cheerio, Goodbye, Salut and Adios!

Normandy is a cyclist`s paradise. It is one of the reasons I moved there 5 years ago. Lovely hills, rivers and countryside. Very little traffic and cycling friendly drivers. Not too wet and windy, only hot in the summer months, rarely too cold. Some lovely architecture, ancient old buildings, beautiful villages seemingly lost in time. I glad that you like it, Giant Cheerio.

Wow, Mt Saint Michel rising from the morning mist is an epic shot !
-
In France, almost all cemeteries have free water and they are generally open during daytime, that is very useful.
-
We stayed near Mont St. Michel in 2018 in a small AirBNB house just across the road from near where you camped. It was AMAZING to watch the sunsets and sunrises there. The monastery itself is incredible and the views from inside and the top are truly bucket-list worthy!

About the water refill problem: in France you can go to any cemetaries and use the water tap (used to water the plants) for free refills. It's drinkable water and it's open 7/7d most of the time.

love your kind of humour... Sunglasses 😎 gone.. so what..? Just things...😄
-
In France you have to go in cemetery for water. I like what you do . Bravo.
-
haha. Great advice that was given to me once when riding through France was that there's always water in cemetaries!
-
Lara when you discover no water at the faucet look underneath or nearby for a valve to open the water valve dear praying 🙏 for your safe passage always. ❤️

Hello cerrio you looking great .

I'm sure you passed in my village (Aubigné just before Marcillé-Raoul). Always water in the graveyard. It would habe been a pleasure to fielled your bottles. 😉

With out a doubt the best bike touring channel on the tube
-
I would use that water tap :D Love your adventure!
-
Lovely to see that you also show the negative sides and setbacks during your trip! Thats why I watch your vids rather than the ‘perfect’ vids😊
-
Excellent video!
-
Just finished watching all of your vlogs, so inspiring I'm going to get my bike out and ride more. I usually ride north of England, mainly North York moors. I should try Europe. Thank you Cheerio.
