From the west coast of Brittany we moved to the North Coast. There, on the Cote de Granit Rose, we found the most spectacular rock formations and coastal walks - at least for our taste. Many kilometers. I think it started at a spot called Les Sentier des Douaniier near Perros-Guirec and moved on to Cap Frehel. Then we moved on to a blessed two nights in a row in one place, the fully-walled old city of St-Malo. Naturally, we walked the walls of that city, and ate the oysters and mussels. We also used it as a base to visit Dinan a Medieval town and Dinard a posh summer resort. The similarity between the latter two names caused some driving confusion but, fortunately, no big problems.

| Ten commandments? Or reclining woman's knees with one breast showing. Is that an ass-crack on the right? |

| More hiking |

| Finally - St-Malo |

| Side trip to Dinard, where they rolled out the red carpet for me - or for a film festival |
