Today we started the day a bit late and so we lost our cab. Apparently, here they just can’t wait 10 minutes for their customers!!
Off to pick up our rental car, visit the inns for this summer’s trip, which was much nicer than expected!! Very impressed by the rooms and the lounge. Great!!
We then leave for Carantec to get a view to the Chateau du Taureau and the beautiful Bay of Morlaix. It is low tide and we are shocked with how far it retreats!! The Chateau is very striking as expected.

We then drive back to Morlaix to cross the Morlaix river and go on the east side on our way to the Cairn Barnenez. Surprise surprise we arrive at 12:05 and the visit ends at 12:30. Guess what?? They won’t let us in because it takes 30 minutes to visit!! Those darn bureaucrats!! We drive around on a dirt road to take a picture still! This is a mausoleum dating back to 5000 years BC!! Blows your mind! Was discovered by accident about 60 years ago.

Now off we go to Saint-Malo passing by Dinan to show Lorraine. We stop by their very unhelpful tourism office and drive down to the River Rance to take a few shots of the beautiful bridge.

It is now 3:30 and all the restaurants are closed for their break. Our lunch has to wait. Off for Saint-Malo. We find our nice hotel and a very helpful receptionist who shows us the rooms, lounge and dining area for this summer. Excellent! She then phones my appointment to reschedule a few and after doing some business we head off for Intra-Muro (la vieille ville). We stop at the tourism office and get fabulous help for my summer activities. Wouldn’t you know, we are here for the “Chandeleur”. The Festival de crèpes!! Yay!! We set out to walk the top of the wall.
Spectacular view!

Towards the end of our walk we come across a creperie on the wall overlooking the “Manche”!! Beautiful view and extensive crèpes and “galette de sarazin” menu!!

We both order excellent choices as well as a flamed rhum banana chocolate crèpe for dessert. yum!!

A great day again and nice discovery.

We are off to Normandie and then back to Paris tomorrow.
