Saint-Malo
Waves, winds and tides have sculpted the contours of this legendary pirate city. In Saint-Malo, everything is turned outward toward horizons that tell stories of adventures, conquests, and illustrious characters, like those of Robert Surcouf, Jacques Cartier or Chateaubriand.
The façades and towers emerging from the fortifications give this city its unique silhouette and the rampart walk offers stunning views, while the beaches of Saint-Malo offer a playground so vast that it feels limitless… Here, the movement of the tides is a fascinating spectacle that one never tires of watching.
GUIDED TOUR OF FORTIFICATION WALLS
Surrounded by 2 km of ramparts, the city of Saint-Malo can be described as a fortified cocoon. What the locals call a “tour of the walls” is a must-visit walking tour of the ramparts where you can enjoy views of both the city and the open sea! Simultaneously medieval, maritime, and truly authentic, this stroll offers a dose of pure, pristine nature. Make sure to stop and contemplate the magnificent stone facades that have braved the tribulations of war and the passage of time, which have long since replaced the wooden façades used in the 18th century.
