We left Mont Saint Michael and picknicked just outside of town beneath a large windmill. We wended our way along the coast till we arrived in Cancale, a coastal village that specializes in seafood. Found a wonderful B&B and headed for the harbor where we feasted on moules frittes and watched the moon rise over the small port. The next day (we stayed here 2 days) we headed for a village to the south (Combourg) where there was a market. We purchased picnic provisions and headed for a hike along a canal further to the south. We walked the trail that was sight to 11 locks and lockhouses. Marlene is standing in front of the PetiteMadeline, the second and most beautiful lock house in the entire group of eleven.

After hiking the lock trail, we headed for Cap Frehal and enjoyed the fresh air and wonderful sights of the sea. We again visited the harbor where we feasted on crepes, a specialty of the region.
