Friday, August 5, it is 7:40, I'm on the train that brings me to Bordeaux before joining Nantes and Rennes, finally, is my destination. I am invited for four days in Brittany with friends. I made some video clips in this report but unfortunately the quality was not at the rendezvous. For this first day, I did not do pictures and the next day either (I did not do anything in this report, I just have not taken pictures every day). Except this orchid:

On Sunday, however, we move towards the Mont Saint-Michel. We start by visiting a zoo''called''Alligator Bay. It's very big and not be afraid of reptiles, crocodiles, snakes and chelonians. The park measures 10'000m ² and contains about 200 alligators and crocodiles, turtles and land 300 and 150 snakes, lizards and lizards of all kinds.
We start right away by one of the crocs. We are on pontoons with height below the crocodile in a high humidity environment. There are Nile crocodiles, alligators in Florida and six other species as well as small albino alligators.



Then we go out in the open to see the turtles of all sizes. The giant tortoise from Africa to Florida turtle, the turtle coal, the star turtle India or the great giant tortoise of the Seychelles. The latter reaches 120cm and 300kg, a real monster is also the largest tortoise.

Can also be found in parks turtles ... ''tortoises'' of a species a bit special.

after having been stroking torutes giant of Africa, we are going towards lizards, snakes and lizards. Some are very friendly with beautiful colors and some are very ... special.

After this passage very scaly, we will (finally) to Mont-Saint-Michel, which is a few minutes from the zoo.
The Mont-Saint-Michel ... What some people say (mostly Norman) the Mount was Breton for a while. Called at the beginning the Mont Tombe, it takes its name from Mont-Saint-Michel in 709 in honor of St. Michael the Archangel who defeated the dragon. From 867 until 1050 Mount is a Breton. He returns to Normandy in 1050 as the Couesnon River has shifted to the west of the mountain, then serving as the Couesnon border. If the Couesnon had not changed his bed, the Mount would be perhaps the Breton now.
Mont-Saint-Michel has today less than 50 people and has more than 3,000,000 visitors per year. A statue of Saint Michael the Archangel covered with gold leaf crown the tower of the abbey of Mont and rises to 170m above the water. The site is nationnal Heritage since 1862 and joined the World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. It is also the second most visited places in France.





Thank you to Péran and Gaëlle for inviting me, and hosted (and supported me and my belly without end). I could découvrire beautiful things (including the Mont-Saint-Michel that I did not see any time soon) but I hope to return soon and make different pictures.
