At last! We've reached part two of my honeymoon recap. Part one was all about Paris. Since our wedding anniversary recently just passed and therefore our honeymoon-iversary as well , we've been reliving those moments a lot.
Plus I was also recipe-testing for the kouign amann recipe which you'll find below , so that made us miss our precious honeymoon days that much more, filled with French pastries, cocktails and lazy wanderings. Malo was a totally different beast than Paris. Our five days in Paris were super fast-paced as we tried to cram in as much as possible. It's a fairly large city, and I'm sure you could spend a few years there and never take in all it has to offer.
By comparison, St. Malo is so small that you could walk from one end of the city to the other in ten minutes and at a leisurely pace. It's a tiny walled-in port city on the coast of Brittany, so it played an important role in war times as a fort.
There were no cars in the town, as most of the streets were quite narrow and some were even staircases. One of the best ways to view the city and the nearby area was to walk around the top of the wall encircling it. We did that a few times during our visit. One of our favorite aspects of the area was the beach surrounding St.
When the tide was all the way out, it created a pleasant beach for visitors. At some point people had built a natural swimming pool complete with a high diving board, which was super awesome. There was a stone wall built into the ocean floor, designed to catch the water as the tide went out. It created a perfect swimming pool for the beach-goers to enjoy. How genius is that? When the tide was all the way in the water came right up to the city walls, turning the nearby Fort National into an island.
