12 Place Chateaubriand Saint-Malo, Brittany, France, 35400, 2-9940-8952
Landed in Paris mid-morning after the typical overnight flight. We picked up our rental car at Hertz -- a nice Renault Megane Scenic, very roomy, fairly new, and ready for a long ride! Driving in any foreign country is always a bit unnerving (US being the exception - unless one is driving through prime crime areas or on the Ventura Freeway...), so it's with a bit of trepidation that I took the wheel to get us out of the greater Paris area and onto the highway that would take us to St-Malo, 40...
St-Malo, France hsb
Arret d'une heure à St-Malo.<br> <br> Cinq minutes après s'être stationné...il commence à pleuvoir. Mais jusqu'à là, ca allait.<br> Apres un certain temps, je réalise qu'il a un Énorme nuage d'une couleur douteuse qui approche un peu trop rapidement. 30 secondes apres avoir fait le commentaire, gros tonnerre et ca commence à tomber et même à grêler....<br> <br> Fait du séjour à St-Malo...
Saint-Malo, Brittany, France marianm... la chance de gouter à des moules pour la première fois de ma vie! Ce n’était pas si mal, je ne sais pas si je suis encore prête à en commander toute seule mais bon, c'est un début. Par contre, je crois que les huitres sont la vraie spécialité du Mont-St-Michel, mais encore là, c’est un fait à vérifier!<br> Les trippes ca c'est une autre histoire...je n’ai pas r ...
Le Mont-Saint-Michel, Basse-Normandie, France marianmSunday we drove 2 hours to Bretagne (or Brittany) to Mont St. Michel. There is an abbey on top which began construction in the 700s. It's very old and medieval. There were a ton of steps we had to climb up, but once we got to the top, it was well worth it. The views were picturesque ...
Saint-Malo, Brittany, France liz.swind... 19th century viaduct spanning high above the port. It was beer o'clock so we found the old towns bar street and settled ourselves down on one of the outside tables. We tried two local beers a Picon and Affligate. Picon a dark beer but tasting like it contained lemonade (hmmm not sure about that one) and Affligate which was like a blonde Leffe - this was a good choice ...
Dinan, Brittany, France darrenhough74... s prices right now! Kim's Maison du Scooby came through with the goods again and produced a delicious Mussels Provincal and Oysters Kilpatrick for lunch. View was amazing as we parked at Pointe de Grouin and the blue waters of the Altantic shone in the background. The scenery around the Pointe reminded us a lot of Cornwall.
Cancale, Brittany, France darrenhough74Taking the direct route for a change we drove onto Le Mont Saint Michel where had decided to stay for the night. We arrived just before sunset and secured a park at the start of the causeway in direct view of the Mont. I went out to take some photos in the last of the light while Kim prepared some nibbles and popped open a bottle of rose. Together we watched the sun go down and was rewarded by a be pretty red/pink sunset.<br> After dinner we went for a walk ...

Saint Malo, Brittany, France xoxoliza... a great place around my hometown or even in my country. I could't believe it, if I was said, "the destination of the school excursion was ... Mont St. Michel!!" <br><br> On my way back to Paris, I met a senior Japanese couple, boasting that they came to Mont St. Michel by themselves. I thought they were really brave and I hoped they were able to safely come back home. <br>
