🔥This was an unusually hot week for this area of France, but all of Europe has been having a hot and dry summer. There have been a lot of forest fires due to the heat. Much of France is under drought controls because of the lack of rain.🔥

MONDAY-8th morning and we took the bus to Rochebonne to then walk back on the digue.

Monday afternoon we took a walk to the beach at Bon Secours and had a little drink.

***AFTERNOON WALK TO THE BEACH AT BON SECOURS.***

TUESDAY-9th in the morning, we walked to the Intermarché Super for our shopping and that was about it for the day as it was too hot.

WEDNESDAY-10th it was a slow, hot day so we took a walk around Intra-Muros, but that was it.

THURSDAY-11th we walked to the Rocabey marché but did not do much else, again too hot.

FRIDAY-12th and we did very little as it was too hot. A walk to the mole was about it.

SATURDAY-13th was the hottest day of the week, so we walked to the beach at Bon Secours and waded in the water to cool off a bit.

SUNDAY-14th and the hot weather finally ended. Nice day for a walk on the digue.

MONDAY-18th a hot day, an all time record was set in Saint-Malo 40.8°C (105.4°F). Walked to the plage du Bon Secours to cool off in the ice cold water. This beach is the closest to our apartment. It is just a hundred steps or so from the apartment; 350 meters, 382 yards, 1148 feet

***Our walking route from the apartment, follow the blue dots from the right (4 Rue de la Coudre) to the left (Porte Saint Pierre). 4 minutes is about right.***

***View out to sea from in the water.***

TUESDAY-19th Sandy went to the marché early and on the way back she met our friend Madame Yvonne. She is in her 80s and comes to Saint-Malo each year for the months of May through September. She lives in Rennes.

We tried some Sophie training this morning, but were not overly successful.

Still hot in the morning, 29, but this afternoon should be a cool off. We took a late afternoon walk down to the harbor and then out on the mole. We saw Madame Yvonne sitting on a bench in the shade talking with a friend. We said hello, she laughed and we continued on our walk to the mole.

***Plage du Mole viewed from the mole.***

Sandy invited Gwenaëlle and Corentin, from the top floor of the apartment building, to have an aperitif with us Saturday evening. They are children of the owners of the top floor apartment, Nicolas and Nathalie. Gwenaëlle and Corentin are university students working here for their summer jobs.

WEDNESDAY-20th and we did our usual Tuesday shopping today instead. Watched the Tour de France stage today. Went for a walk to the harbor and on the mole. A cruise ship was in the harbor.

***Spanish ship Nao Victoria in the basin***

THURSDAY-21st we got an early start on our walk to the Rocabey marché. We purchased some pork for Sunday, and some cheese and olives for Saturday evening. Saturday evening Gwenaëlle and Corentin will be coming to our apartment at 18:30 for an aperitif.

On the way home we met our friend Jean-Yves and Fripouille his dog walking along the quay Dougay-Trouin.

Afternoon walk to the harbor. Saw the cormorant and a lot of people. Stopped at the wine shop on the way back.

FRIDAY-22nd and we did some aperitif shopping at the Intermarché Super. This is to prepare for the visit tomorrow of Gwenaëlle and Corentin for an aperitif. Met our friend Eliane while crossing through the parking lot on the way back to the apartment.

Stopped by the boules court in the afternoon, said hello to our friends, Philippe, Guy, and Jean-Yves. Then we went to the harbor.

***Fishing boat coming in to unload mussels.***

Stopped at the Carrefour City for some Kronenbourg 1664 beer on the way back to the apartment.

SATURDAY-23rd and we had only one thing to do this morning; pick up our Nespresso coffee package at the post office. Must not run out of coffee.

Gwenaëlle and Corentin were here for an aperitif this evening. Sandy had some great finger food for everyone to nibble on. We had a great time talking with Gwenaëlle and Corentin about all sort of things. It was good French language practice for us and good English practice for them. At the end, there was no food left, just a good indicator of a successful evening.

SUNDAY-24th was a slow day. We took a short walk in the morning and decided it was a bit too warm, so we returned to the apartment. For dinner we had the pork brochettes we bought Thursday at the butcher.

A couple of new license plates we noticed this week; Lithuania and Denmark.
