The Côtes d'Armor in Brittany

Before heading west to California, we frolicked on one of our other favorite coastlines, the Côtes d'Armor in the Brittany region of France. From fresh mussels, clams, oysters and scallops to buckwheat crepes in their place of origin and lots of incredibly beautiful cove beaches... the Brittany coast is one of the most magical places on earth.

Les Bouchots, the mussel farms in the Fresnaye Bay

The best fresh steaming mussels from the seaside flea-market stand for only 5 Euros

Quilles, a wooden vintage french bowling game found at the flea market. Love the breton striped men with berets!
