Cancale is a small port town with 5,000 inhabitants in the northwest of the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay. It was recommended to us as a tip for seafood and especially for oyster lovers.
We are back on the road with the π and the π², parked a few kilometers outside the city on the panoramic road, and then went into the city with the π². Great way to get into the city and we leisurely ride past the mega traffic jam π.
At the end of the harbor, we see a small market on the beach - here, only women sell oysters of all sizes. The seafood is offered on a 12'er tableau and we ate it together with a bottle of wine purchased at the next bar, right on the beach. A little later, the next 12'er tableau was due and a seagull dropping as a side dish on the shirt π.
The beach was full of people doing the same thing as we were, whether big or small, everyone was casually eating oysters in decent quantities.
The oyster shells were disposed of directly on the beach and ensure that the beach will expand in size π. The French just know the art of living - l'art de vivre.
A little later, we noticed that we had not yet had dinner and went to the restaurant "Chez Victor". But first, we had to pass the restaurant guide, who was the boss and so important ... Difficulty technique par excellence!
The restaurant would be full and there would only be 1 table available, he had to check that and we should wait for 5 minutes. He scurried back and forth and then we were allowed to take a seat after all - lucky π .
After the oyster overload, we didn't feel like more seafood and ordered steak and fries for a change. After the first bites, we realized that the π₯© in π«π· cannot be compared to the steaks π₯© in π©πͺ. Half of our steaks were inedible π.
Due to our lack of π«π· knowledge, we decided not to make a detailed complaint - the waitress saw what went back on the plate, but wisely didn't ask. After that, we ordered a crepe to get full.
We then made friends with the Italian neighboring table and were able to communicate well thanks to the Google Language App.
On the way back, we briefly looked at the now illuminated Mont-Saint-Michel.
It was a very nice day and evening in π«π· π.
