They then passed through the Orkney Islands, the Shetland Islands, and finally Norway from Bergen to the Lofoten Islands.
Return via Denmark, Belgium and France to Saint Malo.
Continuation alone (the father) from Saint Malo to Royan.
Navigation (as a couple) via the canals (Garonne lateral canal then canal du midi) to Grau d'Agde and arrival at Racou to complete the journey.
