Our orientation weekend trip was to
Bretagne (
Brittany), a region on the northern French coast. We arrived at our adorable hotel (pretty sweet deal) just outside the small, old walled-in town of
Saint Malo. The streets were cobblestoned and filled with restaurants, boutiques, and of course patisseries. It’s a touristy town because you wouldn’t really want to live there, but for a weekend, it’s lovely and a lot of fun. We checked in and tout d’abord (right away) scattered into the town to find a place for lunch. We all had galettes (crêpes salées, or, lunch crêpes – filled with things like meat, cheese, and eggs, rather than crêpes sucrées – jelly, sugar, chocolate, etc.) since it’s a specialty of the area.
As Susannah cleverly commented, this photo is indicative of our respective identities: Flavia the rockstar posing in the window, and me, the nerd, consulting the map in the info packet they gave us. Of course.
there's always time for a patisserie break

We then met up for a tour with Sabrina, starting atop the fortifications around the town, and descending to the beach, climbing up steps onto giant hills with beautiful views.
