Le Querrien Cancale

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...

... gouter...Ca pu!!!! J&#8217;ai commandé plutôt au restaurant le rôtie de porc et la crème brulée, miam!<br><br> En étant en France, tu réalises vraiment comment on censure tout ce qu'on mange en Amérique. Ici, tu as les poules qui sont vendues avec leur tête et leurs pattes, les lapins frais (mort) du jour, les pattes, le nez, le cerveau&#8230;tu vois tout tout au marché!<br>

Sunday 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 ...

... 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 ...

... 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.

... the village of Mont Saint Michel population 42. The Mont built in 7th century and twined to Mount St Micheal in Cornwall. You would be forgiven for thinking they look very similar from a distance but up close Mont Michel is far grander, although the causeway is cooler in England!!! Having the place nearly completely to ourselves we checked out every nook and cranny and was captivated by its aura. This is how you would imagine castles to be when you ...

<br>We arrived in St Malo at 8am Sunday morning, and waited in the departure lounge for about 3 hours untill aymericks friend eddy turned up.<br>Playing out guitars in an empty terminal, hungover, eddy finally arrived and we drove down in his make shift old banger of a mobile home van. Eddys family are beautiful, he has 3 great kids and a beautiful cottqge in awsome village.

... br> The spire of Mont-Saint-Michel is visible from the courtyard outside the abbey.<br> <br> <br> <br> The entrance to the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel leading out into the courtyard in ...

... the abbey, and the beach surrounding the city, was enough to satisfy me and it was absolutely worth visiting in spite of its long distance from Paris. When I got out of the abbey, I met a group of school excursion. They were probably elementary school kids. They must be very lucky to have a chance to visit Mont St. Michel for just a school excursion. I couldn't find ...

... top of Arromanches that gives you a look over most of the area. There is still the makeshift harbour in the bay, where the British created an artificial breakwater from sunk ships and concrete blocks (bought over from England) that allowed them to land the troupes and vehicles to make the invasion. You can see why so many people died on that day, as they were fighting uphill on a beach, with cliffs surrounding their positions. Interestingly the American end of the beaches ...
