The Towering Old Village

Small Rental Car

If you’re going to rent a car in France (or most other places in Europe), you had better not say you want a “small” car. If you do, the car will be smaller than you expect. In fact, it will be smaller than both you and your bags expect. It’s best to ask for 4 doors, otherwise you may not have room for anything other than yourself and a small espresso cup. I found this out the hardway on a roadtrip here through Bordeaux with Tom! Anyway… a little word of warning there!

Daily Photo – The Towering Old Village

Aren’t medieval places the best? Yes! I wonder what it would be like to live here all the time. Maybe you’d get tired of how charming and Hansel & Gretel everything is all the time… I doubt it though!

Around this old monastery of Mont Saint Michel is a curtain wall where you can easily walk along the top. It’s quite cool because every few steps there is a good view of the village and the tower above, each view offering another good photo op.

    Great “vintage” look. The details in the roof mid left are awesome. And hey, I’ve got a small car WITH four doors! ;)

    Great pic. Mont Saint Michel is one of my favorite places. It’s almost like a fairy tale city.

    I love your pictures. I have read and re-read your HDR tutorial and I am not sure if I can be half as good!

    The moss covered roofs make for a great picture. Earlier I was amazed by the beauty of the pictures. Now having read and seen the HDR tutorial I can admire the finer details too.
