Dinan is without doubt, one of the most attractive and best preserved small towns in Brittany that we have visited. With its\u00a03 km long ramparts, half-timbered houses, attractive port and cobbled streets filled with art galleries and craft shops, it was certainly worth a day of\u00a0our time yesterday. I know, another walled ancient town. They are everywhere in France and each one quite incredible !!!<\/p>\n

Today we are having a lazy day. It does not get light here until after 8am so the mornings are always a slow start. We are going to our favourite restaurant in a nearby town to enjoy our last lunch in Brittany. I wonder what he is cooking today??? There are no shops or restaurants in our tiny hamlet where we are staying. It is very quiet and peaceful. Good, before we hit Paris in a few days……….<\/p>\n

Well it is evening now, and we enjoyed a great lunch. We were not disappointed. Mal had steak and cr\u00e8me brulee. I opted for the set menu (whatever the chef\u00a0is cooking on the day). I started with vegie soup (delicious) and then something with meat from the forest\u2026.whatever the meat was it had antlers (the waiter used hand signs for description), but it was apparently not venison, so I have no idea. It was good though !!!!<\/p>\n

This picture does not tell the true story… we were actually illegally parked on a road to get a photo and the gendarmerie (police) called Mal over (he is actually talking to them in the picture but is hidden by the car). I thought we were about to get another fine (yes, another!!), but they only needed help with finding an emergency car that was supposed to have just passed us????<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
