Having seen Cancale yesterday we drove around the coast. It wasn't particularly motorhome friendly, with parking a little tricky but we found some close to the beach at Plage des Chevrets and went for a stroll. It was lovely so we stayed a while. (Because we can!) Of course a beach in France isn't complete without German defences so it was just a matter of time before I spotted the first.
As you can see the sun has come out again, so we soaked it in for a while before heading up the road to Dinard, via St Malo. I had wanted to drop in to Fort de la pointe de la Varde on the way as I had spotted a bunker from the beach, but there was no apparent place to park Reggie so I had to drive on. I missed quite a large complex, built around an old Vauban fort. Ah well, what's another Atlantikwall strongpoint when you've seen so many? We passed through St Malo without stopping as we plan to cross back to look it over for a full day.
When we got to our camping site the office wasn't open so we wandered around to the supermarket and picked up some stuff. We missed a signpost so walked twice the distance but still got back in time to have lunch (or most of it) before the office opened. Our spot isn't too bad (except for a pronounced slope). We had a bit of laundry to do, so got that out of the way before going for another walk.
Well wouldn't you know it - another bay, another bunker or two, or more.

Rocky coasts always make for interesting walks..
But the best views were back at camp.
