Saint-Malo, a historical city

The renowned city of Saint-Malo will take you back centuries with its astounding history full of sailors, pirates and merchants who sailed about the seas.

Over the course of the centuries, renowned celebrities such as the pirates Jacques Cartier, Robert Surcouf and Duguay-Trouin, scientists, writers, and statesmen such as Broussais and Maupertuis, Chateaubriant and Guy Lachambre have created the hallmark of an unrivalled city.

The panorama of Saint-Malo Bay from the top of the ramparts of this spur jutting into the sea is breathtaking—with its forts built by Vauban and the islands that protect the bay.

Saint-Malo and its beaches

Sea resort

SAINT-MALO is also a decidedly modern sea resort that lives to the flow of the largest tides of all of Europe.

Take advantage of sea sports on its vast beaches. Or just take a walk with your beloved or with your family, with your feet in the water.
