Hello St Malo

After three nights in beautiful Le Croisic, it was time to move on. My next stop was St Malo, a place I have grown to love from my previous trips to France. Not only was I returning to one of my favourite places, I was also going to stay in my favourite hotel. The Beaufort Hotel is situated right in the waterfront and offers uninterrupted views of the daily spectacle of the huge tides that this place is famous for.

In order to get from Le Croisic to Saint Malo, I had to take three trains, first to Nantes, then another to Rennes and then the final one to Sat Malo. Travelling by train can always be rather stressful as you never know whether they are going to be crowded or empty, or whether they will be stopped completely because of another strike. To my relief all the arrangements worked like clockwork, and by 2 pm I was checked into my familiar room. I felt like I was returning home.

I now have five nights here to read, walk and relax. Now that is a plan I am really looking forward to following.Read more
