Pleneuf Val Andree Golf. Par 72, 6382 yards. Players comment:-
This golf course is the best and most enjoyable course I have ever played. Perfect
for small groups of mixed abilities this course has it all. Spectacular views, fast
true greens and every hole presents a different challenge, a links course second to
none. course website

a sea moat at high tide.

St Malo intra muros. The old walled citadel on its apron of sand
is a marvellous place to stroll. Beaches on the outside and a lovery shopping and
eating area in the inside.
Ile de Brehat. This idyllic island lies about a mile off shore.
It is a low lying wooded paradise, with little to do, but the look of the place is
hard to resist. Les Vedettes de Brehat shuttle back and forth throughout the summer
from various port along the coast.
