The place was very touristy, and if we'd come at any other time of the year it would have been very crowded.
The drive to Caen was a mix of easy and scary driving. At times the motorway was virtually deserted and we were crawling along on a slippery road. I guess if we had stopped, the snow plough would have come along eventually. When we got to our B&B the place was deserted. Someone turned up 15 minutes later. She had been contacted by the owner, who was trapped by snow in the country!
On Tuesday we had a bit on an explore of the area around St Malo. We went to a town that appears to exsist purely for the purposes of farming shellfish.
St Malo itself is a beautiful town, as are all the towns in Brittany, really. Perhaps we should buy a house in Brittany and come back every year!
