On a rainy day, Mrupupup was in a French Cafe having a pot of mussels. The French cafe was small and homely. The shop owners chatted freely with the customers and engaged in polite converations. When the lady shop owner came to Mrupupup, she said 'Bon nuit', how is the food?' Mrupupup replied, 'Tres Bien!'. Mrupupup was a rare overseas asian faced visitor to the lady owner's cafe.           This French cafe was located in the walled city of Saint Malo, at the Britanny region of France. Saint Malo could be described as a beautiful place in France. The walled city of Saint Malo gave it a 'old style' medieval feel of Europe along with the contrasting modern shops and supermarket Carrefour. The people here in Saint Malo were more friendly as compared to the hurried city folks in Paris. As Mrupupup walked on the cobbled streets, the sights and senses made one wonder. Memories returned to Mrupupup of the strong winds from the ocean, the tree stumps along Sai

Saint Malo in France is a famous walled city and famous fortress for wars in Britanny area of France. One can take the TGV train (fast train) from Paris to Saint Malo (about 3 hours journey). Saint Malo is a beautiful place and not so crowded with tourists like Paris. One can relax, enjoy the very nice beach, have a big pot of mussels (cheap and value for money) served by friendly people, oysters, savoury crepes (yummy!) and walk one round around the city via the walled section. Mrupupup stayed in a nice hotel inside the walled city, was nice and peaceful there. Enjoy the sun rise in the port area and see seagulls flying. Enjoy my photos and video, if you got a chance, do try to spend a few days at Saint Malo, France.
