I went there two years ago to visit the Beaches etc. I couldn't find any POI's so what I did was use Google Earth, set pointer on the sites and made a note of the Lat Lon, entered in sat nav and made them, on my device, My POI's. They could of course be saved as favourites.

In the case of st mont michel I found it's 48.635405 -1.510911

if you still have the data it'd be a good category to add to France \ Historical & Cultural

I'll try to find it but if not I'll spend a little time making another list with co-ords.

Hi Lost Property,

That's a little gem of a list there, many thanks.
I'm going with a small party later this year and was in the process of making a list of 'must see' places.
We were going to just rely on pen, paper and a map!!
But this is going to be a big leg up.

Cheers, Bob
