Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our trip along the Rance, through some lovely scenery. Lola’s commentary was interesting and her enthusiasm, particularly for the birds we were able to observe made this a memorable afternoon. Binoculars and information sheets were available, as was free coffee. , Our only problem was in finding the startling point for the trip. Even people working on the river by the car park did not know where we should go. We only found out about this activity from Tripadvisor, as it was not one of the companies that the Tourist Office in St Malo offered information on. Lola certainly deserves to be better known.
