St. Malo 2004 - Walk to Cité d'Aleth

	First we had to meet someone on the water bus. On the way we spotted this bridge allowing access to the inner harbour was open.
	The docks were full or trimarans that were something to do with a Quebec to St. Malo race. Here are three of them.
	Waiting for the bus. We were on French time, they were on English, so we had a long wait.
	But it arrived eventually.
	So off we set. Cité d'Aleth is the wooded hilltop in the distance.
	We stopped at Phare beach along the way, for a beer. This beach is actually on a tidal pool, held back by a large wall, so the water is very still. Further out are the moorings which can be seen in the next image.
	Looking back you can see the Intra Muros and all the boats parked at Phare.
	This is the "Tour Solidor" in Cité d'Aleth. We decided it didn't look worth the admission fee.
	From Saint-Servan Cité d'Aleth you can see Saint-Servan (the town) and the Eglise Sainte Croix (the church)
	Looking out to see you can see this statue on an island.
	As we walked towards the Eglise we came across this market selling mostly postcards and nautical junk. I was very popular though.
	The front of the Eglise.
	And the tower. The door was very shut, the entrance is around to the left.
	Once inside the Eglise is spectacular with numerous shrines around the outside walls, all incredibly ornate. Here is one of them.
	And another.
	The alter.
	The ceiling and organ.
	And the pulpit.
