Trip retro
This is a roadtrip through north France with focus on beautiful France cities, castles and chateau. We started on the border with Germany and drove through France all the way to Bretagne. There we visited the famous Mont Saint Michele, turned around and slowly started returning back towards Germany. We officially finished the road trip by visiting Völklingen Ironworks, well preserved Unesco iron works at the Germany borders.
