St Malo is a beautiful small walled coastal city in Brittany, north west coast of France. It was largely destroyed in World War II but painstakingly reconstructed. It is a big sailing port where Jacque Cartier sailed out of when he discovered St Lawrence, Canada, for the French.We anchored out and again there was over 30 feet of tide. We arrived in high tide, and during our stay, it was as though someone had taken the plug out - as the water “drained out”, a lot of the many boats, were left sitting on the seabed.
There was a castle on an island when we arrived – at low tide we could walk out to it!
The specialty foods of the region were mussels, oysters and pancakes.
