Le Corsaire are allowed to use violence to kill the crew in action, but this action is legal because it was on behalf of the king.
Strange indeed, but that's the reality. And the inhabitants of Saint-Malo was so proud of her past. But if they called themselves descendants of pirates, with a flushed directly because for them the term pirate Corsair have differences. Pirate is a robber synonymous with crime and Corsair is a real soldier. Although for me essentially the same, both robbed.
Pirates took the kingdom is not any boat. Vessels associated with the royal touch, but prohibits foreign vessels, especially English became the main target.
Before entering the door of the old city of Saint Malo, the port city surrounded by this, our eyes met the boat Corsair (pirate kingdom.) So huge, fascinating and more importantly original. Not intentionally artificial vessels in the display for tourists. Of course, pirate ship has been under renovation to make it more beautiful to the eye and also shows how the original when the ships sail across the ocean realm is filled by the kidnappers took the kingdom prepared for combat ships other vessels and property.
When you want to know about we can look up on the ship, but of course must be achieved in the first bag. Unfortunately I do not remember the amount of euros that they already are to us, I remember quite expensive. But to see kids so excited I kept screaming 'wow .... "Money we spend on a not very significant, the evidence I forgot how much the price of admission.
Satisfied Corsair explore the ship, it is time that the four of us visited the ancient city of Saint-Malo, which is always visited by foreign tourists more than 200,000 people in the summer. After visiting a tourist information office began to cross the foot of Saint-Malo.
It seems a questionnaire stating that if the summer is a flood of pirate city proper of human existence. Because when we arrived, coinciding with a market town on a normal day just so that this city was full of tourists over the city market is held every Friday completes our point of view only by people going .
Shops and restaurants on both sides of the road was not too bad to walk away if you are looking for comfort discover the charm of the city. This city is a paradise for those seeking a memory. Since the beginning of the local specialties handicrafts here until I can find it easily.
Finally decided to follow like any other tourist, buying some souvenirs for the family. Anything that can be taken as a souvenir? The main one is the sardine! True city famous for its fish sardine Britain. sardine cans that appear in this sale is not very exciting game. Although the price to three times the price of sardines in the regular supermarket. But the package nice and he told me, sardines from Saint-Malo, Brittany, especially of unequaled pleasure.
It is true, stores that sell canned fish as I attended made me panic! Although there like sardines, but look how small fish cans are included in colors that are used only to make visitors see is certainly going to buy cans of one or two spot because cans of tuna are show, for example me.
Was only willing to look-see, which is out of the store is no longer a chore, but a large bag containing canned sardines and canned seafood. And Adam firstborn noisy trace event we want to taste the sardines without bones specifically for children. And so far every time her father offered sardines instead remove the language because I do not like ...
Almost until the trip fills us with lunch only fun shopping. From the day after we had to leave Britain city then also take the opportunity in this city to buy some souvenirs for family and of course our own. I bought two miniature lighthouse to our home in Jakarta. Adam and Bazile buy a pirate ship and no delay is a typical city magnet here to liven up the refrigerator door is already saturated with a magnet around the state and city.
It was shown already in one. Children begin to complain of hunger. One at a restaurant we visited. Do not be surprised to see the price is expensive stomach! We intend to enjoy the sea shells that are very famous in the city of Saint Malo. In my city of Montpellier, for example, when shopping at the supermarket then the sea clams from the city of Saint-Malo, which is the guarantee of quality. Because it is very tasty, it was delicious just boiled.
But precisely in Saint-Malo to problems in search of food. Since many restaurants are full from early morning. One of us is, what should have booked a place in a restaurant, so I do not like at that time, around town looking for a place to eat.
We accidentally saw a cluster on a bulletin board plastered dead end restaurant. We went to was a nice restaurant with a decor that is a variety of miniature figures in film and comics. And there's a closet full of comic book reading for visitors to the restaurant. The fate, fortunately, there is still room for us and the menu offers little expensive, especially when you do your menu is scallops and french fries as discussed above.
As we ate, I honestly could not hide his satisfaction with the shells that went into the mouth. So tasty .. C'est très bon! (Very good). Our children actually ate voraciously until lunch. On the other hand, feel so at home in a nicely decorated restaurant. And desserts ordered pancakes with butter sugar typical Brittany, our lunch to be perfect.
It was so delicious so far I still remember the correct name of the small restaurant, the Quai des Crepes. And just the other side of the restaurant is a store that sells traditional butter Britain. Inside the store you can see how they process the butter and equipment from the old more time to complete the information, and visitors will not cost you anything, except the purchase of butter ...
Now is the time back from near the city of Saint Malo. The city is named after a priest named Mac Low. Mac Low pastor who later became a bishop is what makes the city previously Aleth became famous thanks to the fabric of humanity. In 1944, because of the war, the city of Saint Malo had been swept up to 80 percent, almost all was said. And then rebuilt again. So much to say when the city of Saint-Malo is not original. Although one could say that this city is a city of repetitions, but not eliminate its charm.
The city is located in Brittany is famous for its maritime history. Being one of the important port for fishing, world trade and also as a tourism center. This port city is surrounded by a gigantic fortress. Besides working to protect the days of the war, partly because the city is always dilandai by sea storm surge of ocean often a blow to this city. Thanks to the energy of tides very important is that it was built in this city.
Every 6 hours, we could see a changing of the tides of the Atlantic Ocean. How can we explore the sandy beaches of the feet and then a couple of hours later from the beach is no longer visible, because it is covered by sea water.
This scene I saw was like a spectacle of nature. When we were at the top of the castle, surrounded by giant walls, from the distance I was surprised by a large pool of natural resources awoke one with the sea is impressive. At that time the sea water the tide began to see clearly how the giant pool that had seen the street slightly to the sled started to sink and finally, natural pool that is fully integrated with the oceans. Unfortunately, we have not brought our swimming pool equipment and air for us when it's cold enough, but for those residents who are in northern France, the air was very hot.
Along the walls of this giant statue of the heritage we will see. In Saint-Malo was only one strength that we can find that there are several strengths. But unfortunately, depending on the tides. When away, of course, you can easily reach another fortress overlooking the sea. When the water is rising and we could not see the other castle. Only Le Fort Saint Louis Bastion can be visited, and even then it was great.
Erosion of the huge walled fort and see the distance to the vast expanses of ocean, as if this car is like a giant surrounded by miniature. If we had been feeling a bit tight for the sea of people in the city center, now we can breathe fresh sea air and our eyes in the blue sparkling water exposed to solar reflection.
This feels so relaxed self. No wonder that this city is not as spa amount of sea water is said to be very effective to deflect the body again. And in fact most of the class jet set who came to this city to relax the body while on vacation in order to recover the freshness of the body.
We do not need its own spa, because only see and breathe the fresh air of the Atlantic Ocean made us feel relaxed and refreshed. Our holiday in Britain was a lot of positive things for us. In addition to increased knowledge and experience here is also the body and our soul is refreshed.
