Dinard

Lazy morning and we finally got moving just before lunch.  We went to Dinard in separate cars, travelling via St Briac sur Mer.  St Briac sur Mer turned out to be less than we'd hoped (we think we may have gone to the wrong St Briac! - there's more than one).
So without too much delay we moved on to Dinard which was, apparently, a bit of a French outpost for 19th century well-off British ex-pats / Francophiles.


 So it has quite a few unique British style mansions, which makes an interesting point of difference.  Despite this, Dinard also was not quite up to our 'French prettiness' standards.  
Never-the-less we had a pleasant lunch overlooking the bay then a very pleasant walk along the waterfront promenade.


We then heaaded back to the gite for a bit of a break before heading back to meet ML & BT for dinner in St Malo.
John and Boudewijn enjoyed mussels (the smallest I've ever encountered; but, never-the-less, a great treat) while Ann and Marie-Louise tucked into local fare.
