1555-1605 Bus back to St Malo station

2245-2300 Took subway to our hotel in Paris
2310 Arrived and checked in at hotel
2320 Managed to buy KFC near our hotel for dinner/supper just before they close for the day.


St Malo is a town with an ancient walled city, located in Brittany region of France.

From the bus stop outside St Malo station, we took a short bus ride (E1.30 per pax) to the bus stop just outside the old town (Intra-Muros).  
Outside Intra-Muros


Before entering Intra-Muros, we stopped by the tourism office for a map (costs E0.20 I think).



inside tourism office.



Ok, entering Intra-Muros



There are many shops and restaurants within Intra-Muros. 
I'd also recommend taking a stroll along the top of the fortress walls that runs along the perimeter of Intra-Muros.







Walking along the walkway above the fortress wall.




























Time to get lunch before catching our bus back to St Malo station.
Had our lunch at this restaurant, located near the main entrance to Intra-Muros

The view from our table.

Since this region is famous for their oysters, so most of the restaurants includes oysters on their menu. Here is the oysters which my husband ordered.


Our orders

Chicken.

Loved the nutella macaroon


Dining was kinda expensive here in Intra-Muros. Our lunch costs around E60.

After lunch, we took the bus back to St Malo station, where we then collected our luggage from our hotel near St Malo station, and then took the TGV back to Paris.

Spend some time wandering around Montparnasse station looking at trash bins and asking the cleaning staffs if they saw any teddy bear over the past 2 days at the station. :(
And then went to the police station near Montparnasse station to enquire too.

And then we headed for our hotel for the night.
