When I find some free time in the schedule I always enjoy driving up to the coast and spend a little while in Saint Malo.
Brittany has a special light which is appreciated by many painters and also photographers. Some of the greatest Impressionists worked in the region. For picture taking early morning and late afternoon are the best times and I can say that I’m happy with the results of this day.
First, we went down the mole where you have a nice view over to the town of Dinard. On good days you can see the Cap Fréhel clearly.
We then made a little stroll through the inner city and ended up in a nice and oldfashioned tea room, well known for its chocolate specialities. So, I decided for a mouthwatering piece of Nougat de Montelimar. This is a town in the South of France and famous for its nougat production. A beautiful piece of nougat filled with pistaccios and hazelnuts and covered with dark chocolate. And the real good nougat is not particularly sweet that only the cheap one. I wasn’t disappointed, it was gorgeous!
After that we continued walking towards the Chateau de Saint Malo and ended up at the Sillon beach enjoying the sundown and a magnificent look over the Channel and the Emerald Coast.
