11. - 13.7. - Dinard, Saint-Benoît-des-ondes

प्रकाशित: 16.07.2023

My plan was to spend the first three days in Dinard. Located right next to St Mal0lot, with a lovely beach.

The lady at the reception said, 'Nous sommes complet!' F...! But we are allowed to stay for one night. We set up and chill at our base.

Move to Saint-Benoît-des-ondes

Due to circumstances, we move a bit to the east. The campsite is 'pas complet' and we get a spacious spot right next to the entrance and trash. The latter is separated from us by a tall, deep hedge and fortunately cannot be smelled either.

Excursion to St. Malo

One of the top vacation destinations for the French, pirate city, a must see, says the internet and the travel guide. We set off. With the help of the reception, we find a route with 'La Velo Maritime'. If you are cycling up there, it is absolutely recommendable.

First stop is Cancale. That's where the most famous oysters come from. Caesar and Napoleon were apparently fans. We don't eat any, just have a cappuccino at the market square.

Afterwards, thanks to the website, we continue on cozy country roads to St. Malo. The drive is the best part. The old town is overcrowded, we don't have fun, walk around with the masses for an hour and troll back.

While on the way, we go shopping and Katja cooks a delicious stew with beans, potatoes, and bacon. Good night.

Oysters

Originally, we wanted to go to Dinan, because I thought I saw the distance there on Google as 11 km. After cycling for three kilometers, I realize that there are still 27 km missing - too far, we give up.

Instead, we ride along the beach and go to a restaurant that looks nice. I eat something I've never eaten before: oysters. I don't think I'll do that again. Slimy protein that tastes like the sea.

There it is, already done.
