Back to Mont Saint Michel !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Europe, Food and Wine, France

Sitting around at home with plenty of time to spare ,could not keep me long in the house. Having so much wonderful places around, will just not do justice. Therefore,off we went in our road warrior tours of my lovely Bretagne and else …. This time we did a tour of Mont Saint Michel and surrounding areas. Let me tell you and me again on back to Mont Saint Michel !!! Hope you enjoy it as I.

As we got there a bit late and the tourist hordes have taken over too much, we did not go in this time just walk around its digues with splendid views of the mount of Saint Michael.

 Already feeling hungry, it was about time to eat! I had pinpoint a local place away from the tourist hordes and made advance reservation as it was we almost made it before their closing at 14h ! First a bit about the town of Saint-Georges-de-Gréhaigne.  We did not go for sights here in Saint Georges de Gréhaigne but will give you a run down on the town, Saint-Georges-de-Gréhaigne is a town in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine no 35 of the region of Bretagne/Brittany. It is located on the edge of the English Channel. 7 km from Mont Saint-Michel, 37 km from Saint-Malo, near road D797, a hill 29 meters above sea level is crowned by an old 15C church, the work of the monks. . With an highway interchange, Saint-Georges-de-Gréhaigne is easily accessible from the main urban centers of St Malo, Dinard, Cancale, and Avranches on the N176 road (the one we took most).

Looking for a typical restaurant away from the tourist hordes that today surround Mont Saint Michel, I took my gang to Saint-Georges-de-Gréhaigne , and the Le Rustique restaurant, at 4 Le Bas de Saint-Georges. It was a nice find, we had steaks, fries, and mussels in cream and with chorizos ! Mousse de chocolat with cherries and cream as well as a bottle of Domaine de Terrebrune rose from the Anjou, wonderful all for less than 20 euros per person ! We will be back ! The service was very friendly and attentive and the food very good as well as great price/quality ratio we seek. The official Le Rustique resto: https://lerustiquest-georgesdegrehaigne.business.site/

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
