Avranches and Dinan (part two)

Ann and I made an early start, leaving M-L & BT to have breakfast by themselves.  We drove ≈50Km to Avranches to see the Scriptorium, which is a museum that houses the collection of manuscripts of Mont Saint Michel, deposited in the municipal archives during the French Revolution. It is one of the largest collections of medieval illuminated manuscripts in France, outside national and university libraries.

Then we drove to Dinan Port and took the boat excursion of  ≈10Km on the Rance up-river from Dinan, through the lock number 47 at Lehon and passing the l'abbaye Saint Magloire.  




We had a further wander around Dinan with M-L & BT before heading to Cancale for a magnificent seafood dinner.
