"The first such patrol took place on Monday, with French officers flown in by helicopter on to the Mont Saint-Michel ferry, just as it entered French waters from southern England at about 5pm local time (1500 GMT), and remained on board until the vessel reached its final destination in the northwestern French town of Caen."
