Perros-Guirec and St-Malo

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?





Cap Frehel later in the day - with a different character
More hiking
And more

Finally - St-Malo

Two nights protected by these walls

Oyster shells
Mussels - very plump, even if not large

Side trip to Dinan. Caught them installing a medieval, half-timbered house made by Disney

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