We were away for a long weekend since Friday. We spent one night near Dinan, France and visited Saint Malo and Dinan, and then moved further West on the coast.
Dinan is one of the prettiest and most charming towns I've visited - right up there with Avignon and Les Baux de Provence. Really lovely, not so touristy, a world apart in time. I was less impressed with Saint Malo (although there were some charming areas), largely due to the overrun of the international shopping brands and cheap tourist fare as you walk in. Ugh.
The first gite was much nicer and it was a shame we only spent one night there. The second was bigger and better suited to having all the friends and kids with us for the end of our stay, but further from fun things to explore, and not as charming inside.
It was a nice weekend and left me hungry to explore this part of France some more...
