Drove further west to a seaside place at the southern edge of Brittany. According to wiki, La Baule "boasts a 12 km-long beach which is the longest in Europe". Cool. We reached the Hôtel Saint Christophe first which is further inland, then walked out to the beach from there. When you don't expect anything and something like that greets you, you can't help but feel that it is vastly beautiful.. The weather was almost summer-like which explains the sunny photos. T'was cold still but I think the French take to it very well; just look at them sunning themselves on the beach!
Strolled along the sidewalk and veered towards the town center halfway through. Couldn't possibly walk all 12 km :) Pleasant-looking town which we felt resembles Deauville, another seaside place up north. A little touristic (by that I mean the French themselves as tourists instead of people of other nationalities) save for a number of local designer boutiques which we always prefer to the good ol' brands..
Went back to the hotel to bring Tasha for another stroll in the other direction. Then we started spotting weird old skinny houses squashed between big squarish buildings like the one in the photo!
Here's our charming hotel and the church opposite which looks good lighted up even though it's under renovation.
