Never been to York and yet have a burning desire to visit the place. Don't know why! Deffo on the bucket list. And to raise a glass to Tess of the dangly-ticklers, of course. Christmas markets, though, have degenerated into rip-off events. Still hoping to get to Strasbourg though (even though it's nowhere near York).
Whatever happened to @alsacebrew

Sounds like you had a great time. I've been to Saint-Malo many times as the outlaws used to have a flat within walking distance. Don't recall therr being a Murpheys bar within the walls though. But much has changed in 40 years and it's now a tourist trap.
Interesting you should attach a link to La Gacilly as that's more than than an hour's drive away. It's well worth a visit, though, especially outside the summer season.

Interestingly, my wife, who is French, used to visit York regularly when she lived Up North.

Strange answer but my thoughts(my mother always said I was Strange
)
York is wonderful and the Christmas market is good. I go every year and it is right in the centre and really busy.
Plenty to do in York the Museums are very good especially the Castle Museum fantastic for adults and children with its Victorian street and shops.
I,we love France and i/we have been many times over the years mainly Brittany and Vendee, the west coast is fantastic, i love Parc Amourique wonderful place, Murpheys was outside the walls near the camping municiple had many a pint of killkenny in there, Conqurnue is nice over the footbridge were all the cafes and bars are really good seafood there
