Arriving at St Malo, Rennes and onto the Gite

We had a bright and early start ready for 8.15am French time leaving the ferry at St Malo.  We managed to find some coffee and pains au chocolat on the ferry before we left.

We drove then into Rennes and spent some time exploring it including visiting the cathedral, the tourist office the town hall, the opera, the Breton Parliament and Parc du Thabor.  We had a light lunch of tartines and then drove to Melrand to find our accommodation for the holiday, Le Grenier. We arrived about 3.30pm and found it to be pleasant.

In the evening we walked into Melrand (about 10 minutes) and had a few beers in the local bar followed by a pizza from the takeaway there (nothing else open as it was a bank holiday like in the UK) that we ate in the pleasant square.
