Danin, France

We made it to the ancient riverfront city of Danin.  The town has such charm, its narrow streets are coddled together by an array of timbered buildings and flowerpots. It reminds me of the little town from Beauty and the Beast.

They have a nice town center called Place des Merciers.  People roam the streets looking to buy beautiful hand painted crafts, art, jewelry, clothing and food. 

We found an artesian chocolate shop la fée cabosse where we stopped for some fine chocolates. They hand craft little ornaments made out of chocolate and they had a variety of truffles and bars to choose from. We  really liked the chocolate ganache square. 

They have beautiful English gardens 

...and even better views

You can see the old port and the River Rance from above

We checked out the impressive fortified walls that have been around since the medieval times.  This time of year the leaves are changing colors, from bright green to candy apple red.

...and St. Catherine's Tower

 The city is so captivating and reminds me of a medieval fairytale town

We worked up our appetites from all the sightseeing we did and wanted to try traditional cuisine of Brittany.  We found ourselves in a quiet little alley at a restaurant called  Creperie Le Medieval for galettes (a crepe made with buckwheat flour). We tried two different kinds, a galette complète, which is a simple: ham, cheese, and egg, and a galette with sausage cheese and egg. 

We have had a wonderful time exploring the north-west of France, and can't wait to get on the road and see where our next adventure takes us!
