| St Malo |
One of the towns on our list of possible places to live in France was St. Malo. It is a fortified town situated on the coast to guard a major harbor. Much larger than Bagnoles, it qualifies for the title of city. We drove around and quickly decided it was too large and too busy for our tastes. So, we were free to spend the rest of the day as tourists.
We walked along the top of the wall that completely encircles the medieval town.

| At low tide the rocky shore is exposed and several small sandy beaches. In 1693 attacking ships ran aground on the hidden rocks that were just below the ocean's surface. |
 |
| The buttresses along the inner wall were used for storing cannon balls. |
 |
| Well known for their fresh seafood, especially huge plates of crab and prawn. |
After spending the day at St. Malo, we were ready to return to our hotel in Bagnoles and continue our adventure of house hunting in France.
