BRETAGNE

A couple of weeks ago I went to Bretagne, a region at the north-west in France. It was something very different to see, and all the time I felt that I was back in the medieval times.
We had a terrific tour guide so we made a lot of interesting stops along the way.

First the famous Mont Saint Michel (which I dont quite understand if its in Normandy or Bretagne)




View from the Castle.





Then we headed to Saint-Malo a walled city.







We tried to find out which were the best Kouign Aman in the town. Which is a delicious breton pastry made from a loooooooot of -bretagne- butter (best butter ever)







Interesting thing about this region: the tide goes in and out in a matter of hours (notice the bridge)





The hotel.



Dinard & Dinan

  1. A friend of mine (who's french) told me that the Bretagne should be travelled alone because it's like a time warp back to the old days. Judging by this, it looks like he's right :)

    Love photo number three!
