There are several ways in which one can travel to France – plane, train, and ferry. I enjoy the slow transition from frenetic everyday life in the UK to travelling in France which is offered by the cross-channel ferries. In particular, embarking at Portsmouth in the evening, enjoying a good dinner and a night’s sleep, and then landing in St Malo in the early morning seems particularly civilised!
Stretching one’s legs with a walk along the sea wall of the old town of St Malo is good before finding a good cup of coffee and crunchy croissants… bliss
