I am from Brittany, and more specifically from St-Malo. So I particularly like to talk about my home town and visit St-Malo , as often as I can. The old town of Saint-Malo is known and recognized for its historic aspect. Saint-Malo is mostly known for its old town and it is indeed within the city that the main points of interest of the city are located. Here are some tips to enjoy the Corsair City and not miss anything of the city during your stay in St-Malo!
The main one is near the Saint-Vincent gate. The view on the Emerald Coast is absolutely magical from there! On the other side, the Sillon beach extends to Rochebonne. Some of them are really nice. But if you just want to have a drink, I can only recommend the bar of the Univers, an institution in Saint-Malo.
There are as many locals as travelers! It is also on the Chateaubriand place that you will have the most beautiful view on the Castle of St-Malo. This one used to host a museum that has just closed its doors. From now on, there is only the town hall of the city.
I love walking along the port of St-Malo. The most interesting is when the lock is open and the boats enter or leave the harbor. When we are in car, we complain a little to be blocked. But it remains a rather surprising spectacle!
Every 4 years, the port is occupied by the boats of the Route du Rhum. The last edition took place in November and it was absolutely crazy! The cathedral dominates the Corsair City since it is located in the heart of the Intra-Muros. Like most religious buildings this old construction began in the 12th century , it has a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic styles which makes it a magnificent building.
