St Malo break

We're just back from a short break at St Malo.   We planned to have one night away, and to combine the trip with a visit to the Botanical Park of High Brittany that is (about) half-way.   We decided to visit the garden on the way back rather than on the way out, and that was a good call.   We left home at 7 o' clock on the Sunday morning and arrived in St Malo walled town at about 9 o' clock.   We cruised around it for a bit to get a feel (Anita hated the narrow streets), and parked without difficulty in a surface car park just outside the walls.  By about 11 the whole place was jumping, with huge queues for the underground parking and all the surface ones full.

The tide was high when we strolled about the town admiring the views, so by the time I got my swimming trunks on, the tidal pool was in play, and I swam there.  Cold or what?  But refreshing.   Bracing even.
