Road-trip day 1 (sat)Went on a road-trip to Normandy/Brittany area. Destination is at Saint-Malo (4-hour drive from Paris) but we detoured for a stopover lunch at Honfleur. Nice boaty place to bum around for a few hours.. Had lunch at a restaurant called 'Le Bistro Du Port' but service was slow and food kinda cmi.. not well worth the money. If you're there, walk in a little more and you'll get to a boat-anchoring area surrounded by numerous lil cafes.
Reached Saint-Malo in the evening and was pleasantly greeted by a vast blue beach sight. Stayed at 'Hotel Ibis' which boasts an exceptional sea view from some of the rooms! Unfortunately our triple-bed rooms were located at the opposite side. Clean, no frills, cheap and great view. Definitely a keeper.
Took a breezy walk along the coast (wide beach cos of the super low tide) from the hotel to the city centre (about 10-15 mins). Felt so relaxed and free. Had dinner at 'Le Bistro De Jean' which served really good starters! Main courses like beef, duck and lamb were not bad but the fish was disappointing.
Name: Le Bistro De Jean (reservations recommended)
Location: 6 rue de la Corne de Cerf, Intra Muros, 35400 Saint-Malo
Expenditure: 140€
The walk back to the hotel was uber freezing at 11deg! (summer now mind you) So cold that mei mei cried. Poor thing...
