Extreme Tides in St. Malo
The ship had to time its arrival in St. Malo according to how the tide was running...as you can see by the pictures; as the tide goes out, the boats are left high & dry!!!
St. Malo
St. Malo is a walled port city in Brittany in northwestern France on the English Channel. St. Malo traces its origins to a monastic settlement founded early in the 6th century. It became notorious as the home of the corsair, French pirates who forced English ships passing up the Channel to pay tribute!! Jacque Cartier, who is credited with discovering Canada, lived in and sailed from St. Malo

| Seems like mussels with Frites + a Glass of Wine is also a favorite for lunch!!! |
St Malo
Walled city, with a history of pirates, corsairs, and fighting between the French and British! All providing trade and wealth! The city was mostly destroyed in WWll by American bombs and rebuilt. The ramparts escaped damage and date back to 13th century. Lovely warm day and yummy crepes for lunch.
