Saint Malo

Famous as a stronghold of explorers and pirates on the Channel coast, Saint Malo is a district of Brittany in the Ille-et-Vilaine department, 40 kilometres from Mont St-Michel. The conglomeration of St Malo was born in the first century BC on the Alet peninsula. The name likely comes from a Breton monk named Maclow or Malo who came to the area from the country we now know as Wales and who became bishop of Alet. The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries saw a huge surge in maritime activity. The inhabitants of St Malo were exceptional navigators which enabled them to sail the seas off Newfoundland before 1520 and reach Brazil. The most famous were Jacques Cartier who discovered Canada in 1534 and the fearsome pirate Robert Surcouf.

Despite the destruction of 80% of St Malo during the battles of August 1944, thanks to its magnificent restauration the old walled city lives, encircled by its granite ramparts which measure nearly two kilometres in length. In fact it is one of the few walled towns in France survive intact. If you take a walk around the ramparts you will admire with fantastic panoramic views of the coast and the port.

There are other sights well worth seeing which also bear witness to St Malo’s long history, such as the Fort National and the Grand Bé which you will see from the northern ramparts a few hundred metres out to sea and which are accessible at low tide. You can also visit the cathedral of Saint- Vincent and “ l’hôtel de la Gicquelais” which was the birthplace of writer Chateaubriand.
