Short France Trip - Advice on where to visit/stay

[Alesupper]

Hi Folks, in July we are travelling to France. We are catching the ferry from Portsmouth to Ouistreham/Caen. We have only three nights to visit/stay places on the way to St Aubin de Nabirat where we will stay for one week. We then have another three nights to stay/visit on our return to Ouistreham for the ferry home.
We are unsure whether it is better to have 3 one night stopovers each way and try and cram as much in as possible, or to maybe stay at one or two places for one or two nights each way. What are you thoughts?

Any recommendation on where to stay/visit would be appreciated. One place we fancy the sound of La Rochelle on the Atlantic coast?
The route shown in the image is just to show where we are travelling to/from. It is not the actual route we want to take.

Also, is Mont Saint-Michel worth a visit?

TIA

If you get chance go the Cheverny just below Blois.
Nice chateau and a great vineyard Givierge Gerard. French passion site. Just buy some vin.
€5 a bottle if you buy 6 in 2021. He’s a nice bloke, no English but the cave is good and the dog is friendly too.

Or Amboise. Camp site on the island in the middle of the Loire river. Bit busy at peak season.

Mont saint Michel is well worth a visit, you can park the night in the car park too if you tell them when you arrive.
La Rochelle is very nice too if down that way,
Blois is worth a visit too,
