A very quiet resting day today. The Bretagne docked on time and I made my way to St Malo which is a lovely old walled town. I sat in my favourite French Square at Hotel France et Chateaubriand and enjoyed scrambled eggs and strong French coffee.
The weather was glorious and it was out with the factor 30 before enjoying a lovely cycle around the coast on quiet roads to my parents favourite French spot at Cancale looking out onto the oyster beds the azure sea and Mont St Michel on the horizon.
Time for another coffee break and quality catching up time with my sister Mo and Bro-in-law Peter. Cancale is a working harbour resort but splendidly garnished with an array of smart sea food eating places.
The rest of the day was spent looking at my sister's two French properties, their home in Epiniac and their new seaside project currently being restored at the coastal resort of Cap Frehel.
So after a lovely day with family that I don't see often enough and a night of world cup football, the hard work begins tomorrow, with a 102km/67 mile jaunt to Domfront via Pontorson.
Bonne route!
