Stunning
Marie-Thérèse and her husband Réne treated us like royalty. She met us at the train station, gave us a ride to Carrefour and then shopped with us to help us get set up for our week in Saint-Malo. As a fair, but not fast, French speaker, I appreciated her nicely paced French which helped us understand her explanations as she showed us the dechetterie and explained the mag-lock security gates. The building is very secure and safe. Along with providing the keys and the gate prox-card, she also showed us how to unlock the underground parking space, which - sadly - we couldn't use because our EuropCar was simply too big! Small car is a must-have to park in the garage. So we parked on the quiet street just back of the apartment building, with some concern, but there was never a problem. The apartment has a stunning view of the the beach, ocean and sunsets. At low-tide we walked the beach when the rainy weather allowed. It's a short walk to great restaurants and shops in the old-city Intra-Muros. We highly recommend the restaurant Bouche en Folie.
The apartment kitchen is minimal, modern, all-electric, with a two-burner stovetop, small microwave and refrigerator. It's a great home-base as you wander the streets of Saint-Malo.
