From Cologne to Brittany
Rouen breaks up the drive with its cathedral and half-timbered lanes, then Mont-Saint-Michel rises from its bay, where the tides flood and uncover the flats in a daily rhythm. Saint-Malo is then the base on the Emerald Coast: granite-grey city walls, beaches right below them and day trips to Cancale or Dinard. France's motorway toll appears in the calculation as an honest range.
