Today I want to show you one of my favourite spots on the Côte d’Emeraude, the Emerald Coast of Brittany.

It is the peninsula named La Pointe Grouin. It is north of Cancale, the oyster capital I already showed you in my other video here on this blog.

Standing on la Pointe Grouin on a clear day will give you a magnificent view to the east over Normandy, la Baie and the Mont Saint Michel, to the north on low tide to les Îles de Chausey and to the west up to the cliffs of Cap Fréhel.

I already tried to get there last weekend but it was so overcrowed that I decided to try it one week later. The weather was not as brilliant as last week but still, who wants to moan if you have the Pointe Grouin nearly on your own .

This is “my” château , well, kind of. I see it every day on my way home.

Château de Montmuran

I like to visit it about every month and enjoy the magnificent view. In summertime they offer guided tours. You can book rooms for marriages and conferences.

This was such a beautiful sunset. I filmed it last year and found it again on my harddisk today.

So I quickly opened a new YouTube account and will upload more videos, soon.

I hope, you like it .

Hello world!

This is the first post in my brand new private blog! I welcome you to my Brittany!

After I decided to use my domain www.kirstenwinkler.com for my professionel content I had to take a second decision. Do I keep on blogging about my daily life here in France, or not. Basically, do I have the time, or not?

After some weeks without sharing my experiences of my average days, I felt, that I am missing something. And as my friend did not use this domain up to now, I conquered it .

I am really happy about this step “back to the roots”.

Ok, enough blabla. Back to business .

Today we had sunshine here in Brittany. To benefit a bit of this rather rare occasion we decided to jump into the car and go up to the coast to our favourite walking beach in Saint Malo, Le Sillon.

When we arrived, the clouds were already covering up most of the sun but we took a walk anyway to get some fresh air and some fresh ideas.

After our walk we visited our favourite Café in Saint Servan for a hot chocolate and an apple crumble. Yummy!
