I spent some time on a tour and as an exchange student in France in 1995. It was the best time of my life. I visited Rouen, Bayeux, Concale, Le Mont St Michel, Paris, Giverny. My host family lived in a home built out of an old Roman wall. The basement had original Roman columns.

My favorite place though was Saint Malo. Walking the ramparts and looking out over the Atlantic was just an amazing experience.

Someday I am going to recreate that trip and take my wife and daughter with me
