We stopped in Rennes on our way to Mont St-Michel. We're so glad we did. Not only did we find this compact town walkable and friendly, but we were pleased to discover its wonderful garden. It was worthy of a couple of hours, even on a brisk, showery day. Set in the site of an old quarry, it rich with water features amid old-growth plantings, with woodsy paths connecting the lower levels to the more formal gardens above. Though it was late in the season, the formal, flowering gardens were still rich with colorful blooms. In the middle of the park, we came upon the lovely aviary and its contributions of amazing colors. Parc du Thabor is a garden worth detouring to visit.

St Malo is an incredible and charming city, very good for a stroll around and there is the Corsaire House to visit, the Fortress around the city to walk around and a ship to explore.

Incredible view on two different sides, could even see the Mont Saint Michel that day. Worth the detour!! Quite easy to find a parking spot and fairly walkable paths throughout the Pointe du Grouin.

Stayed here 4 nights on an independent tour of the area. We wanted to see how the real people of France lived and I think we got a good glimpse of it staying in a little 1 bedroom apartment in the old town just 150 metres from the railway station. Bought our groceries from the local supermarket and roamed for hours. Great architecture from middle ages up late 1800's and also quite different as you get closer to the coast and see the influence of the British style architecture. Hundreds of little cafes and restaurants and buildings of interest, from the Opera house to cathedrals and council buildings. Good to just wander, sit and take in the atmosphere. Take a train to St Marlo or hire a car for the day and see more of the coast. Visit the Abbey of Mont St Michelle on day trip. A great experience for the independent traveler and so much to keep you occupied.

It’s really good to walk alongside the sea with on the one hand beautiful houses and on the other hand an amazing view on Saint-Malo. Moreover, thanks to the Gulf Stream that maintains mild temperatures you’ll see flowers and exotic trees even in winter. Nice experience. Highly recommended.

We spent a late summer weekend and the beach is absolutely beautiful. Clean and no litter. At low tide there were a few swimmers and a very wide expanse of beach. The sunsets were spectacular.

Small market of 8 oyster producers located on the port of Cancale open every day of the year, all day Tastings on the spot facing the Mont Saint-Michel take away
Reviewed By LATEXPERT - Riga, Latvia
Cancale was a special stop on out travel map. Just on the beach you can find fermer's stalls with the variety of local oysters.On the beach you can see the plantation of oysters as well.Plateau of dozen would cost about 10 euro. So tasty are Belon oysters of different sizes.At the same place or in the oysters shop near the market you can buy acompanied wines and amenities for handling oysters at home:plates, knifes, gloves. In 100 meters ahead are the beautiful sightseeng spots in the area.

One of the great outdoor markets. If you are there on a Saturday it is a must. Plan to buy your picnic. It is almost entirely locals buying their fresh foods for the week, but the vendors were welcoming to tourists and quick to use their English if needed. The cheese stalls are fantastic as are the charcuterie stalls. It is also a good place to buy cuisine souvenirs like special spices or fois gras.
