LUNCH IN FRANCE
St Malo, on the Brittany coast of France is only one-hour ferry ride from Jersey so Brian and I decide to pop on over for lunch and a bit of shopping (sorry, I know that sounds pretentious but what the heck). We arrive mid morning just in time for a café au lait at a lovely bistro on top of the ancient wall that surrounds this medieval city, and manage to order our coffee without too much drama. We spend the next couple of hours wandering the cobblestone lanes and browsing the shops, stopping to listen to buskers and watch the sidewalk artists’ paint landscapes, and draw portraits. After all this expended energy it was time for lunch, and we find a quiet little restaurant the Quai De Crêpes on one of the smaller lanes off the main street. We order moules mariniere for me and fromage and tomate omelette for Brian in halting French and wait to see what will arrive, and when it did, it was delicious. A trip to France (or anywhere for us) would not be complete without a nice glass of wine, so after a bit more sightseeing we find a brasserie on the square and have an excellent Châteauneuf-du-Pape while being entertained by a 3 piece ensemble. Sadly it was time to return to the ferry terminal for our fast cat ride back to Jersey, but this short taste of France has left us yearning for more.
