Day 15 - May 18, 2013 - St. Malo and the Brittany Region


 Today we decided we’d check out the Brittany region of France.  So we headed out on the road and along the way we saw Mont St-Michel in the distance.

We drove along the Brittany coast until re arrived at the port city of St. Malo.  St. Malo reminded us a little of Quebec City as it is a port town with cobblestone streets.  After first finding lunch at a nice brasserie, we found parking in the port area and wandered through the walls of the city and found ourselves in a little shopping district with really narrow streets lots of bakeries and little shops selling everything from shoes to souvenirs.  Down one of the narrow streets we came across a little bakery specializing in French macaroons so we picked out twelve little delicate macaroons and took them home with us.

After a few hours my kidneys couldn’t take any more of the cobblestones do we headed back to Normandy, but stopped first for groceries as the stores are closed on Sundays, but are also closed this week on Monday for a bank holiday and into Coutances for dinner at Don Camillos were we had tender homemade lasagna and crepes of course for dessert.

Bonne nuit!
