Saint-Malo is the jewel in the Emerald Coast’s

crown. Often the sea is a deep emerald green

shimmering around the stone walls

that make the port one of the most picturesque

towns in Brittany.

For a peek into the past: the castle.

54

Firmly set up on the open sea,

the city had to protect itself

from its most famous enemies

of the period : the English

and the Dutch.

The panoramic view from

the ramparts of the "Grand Bé"

and "Petit Bé" islets is spectacular.

Saint-Malo’s heart beats

to the rythm of the tides.

The highest and the lowest tides

in Europe uncover the bay twice

a day. Saint Malo is a major working

freight and fishing port,

ferry terminal and resort.

Hotels and restaurantsin Place Chateaubriand.

…a city of discoveries…Across the baystands Fort Nationalerected byGarangeau in 1689and accessibleon foot at low tide.

The unique cobbled streets The historic "Hôtel de Ville"

By the 17th century,

the town was famous

for its privateers. From Cartier

to Surcouf, the city still

carries the imprint of the famous

men who made its history.

Fortification of the walled city

began in the 12th century.

The most imposing military

architecture dates from

the 17th -18th century,

following the blueprints

of the king’s engineer Vauban.

It takes up to forty-five

minutes to walk around

the ramparts and get the real

flavour of Saint-Malo.

…of history and legends…

6

Stones, rocks, sea :a wild landscape.The horizon seemsto go on forever.

Among the ships owners’

mansions, the Tower Quic en

Groigne still reminds us of the

domination of the Duchess Anne

of Brittany, who told the people

of Saint-Malo : “Complain as you

will, this is my command”.

Despite this domination

Saint-Malo founded a Republic

from 1590 to 1594 and expressed

its independence through

the motto “Malouin first and

foremost, Breton perhaps, French

only if there’s anything left”.

Heavily bombed in 1944 and 80% destroyed,

Saint-Malo was lovingly restored

stone by stone.

The Malouin

flag flies

over the

national

flag.

Asfeld Mansion built in the 18th century by one of the richest gentlemen of Saint-Malo. A not to miss place for its arched cellars.

With its seafaring spirit, the City is proud

to welcome international sailing competitions,

such as “la Route du Rhum”,

“the Tall Ships Race” and cultural events

such as “Festival Etonnants Voyageurs”

and “Quai des Bulles.

From the sea or from the top of

the ramparts, the view also takes

in the two towns which merged with

Saint-Malo in 1967 : Saint-Servan

and Paramé.

In one hour or one and a half hours

at the most, on foot or by bicycle,

discover the essence of these

treasures.

An invitation to go walking Saint-Servan, the first town…

Lively, authentic and great for shopping, Saint-Servan offers the visitor many attractions.

The walk begins in Rue Dauphine : the cobblestoned streets and old houses mostly date

from the 17th and 18th centuries… Number 6 was the address of the Union Hotel, with

its direct access to the beach (an innovation in 183O) and at number 31 stands a strange

antique shop.

Rue des Bas-Sablons, Place Mgr Duchesne dominated by the imposing Manor Hotel,

Rue des Hauts-Sablons, where there was once just a narrow strip of sand!

Today, old houses and viewpoints overlook the promenade, bars and terraces with views of

the marina.

Let’s head for the Rue d’Alet, then the Cité and its unique panorama !

Saint-Malo was surely born on this vast, rocky and very green promontory during the Bronze

age then though the ages of the Vikings and the Gallo-Romans, the first diocese, until the

years of German occupation which saw the construction of formidable military defences.

Taking the Corniche d’Alet, let’s follow the cliff path GR 34 with its magnificentviews, notably of the port and Solidor Tower(today the home of the InternationalMuseum of Cape-Horners)…

Returning via the Rue des Bas-Sablons,taking a short cut down the Rue Amiral Magon :here we are in Bouvet Square where youwill find the theatre, the covered marketand the open-air market every Tuesday andFriday. On the right the Rue Ville-Pépin, on the left the Rue Clémenceau :

These splendid streets for window-shoppingalso invite you to admire their architectural

heritage. You will discovermedallions of famous men, the modest Saint-LouisChapel, ornate façades,

memorial plaques, carved doors and finelywrought gates, stucco decoration Saint-Servan will steal your heart !

1312

Gourmet delightsIt’s a well-known fact that the sea air stimulates the appetite

and sharpens the thirst ! Fortunately, Saint-Malo has plenty

of bars,cafés and restaurants to satisfy your taste buds.

Land and sea, plus a pinch of travelling, and a few zests

of imagination, these are the secret ingredients which inspire

sophisticated cuisine and good food. Enjoy sparkling ciders

and soft, golden buckwheat pancakes, seafood platters and

vegetables sprinkled with rare spices, fish and meat cooked

to perfection, Kouign-amman and other delicious cakes…

Enjoy the simple things in life and treat yourself to a slice of

good bread spread with Bordier butter or salted butter caramel !

Paramé, SaintMalovillage-styleEnjoyable to both live in and visit,

Paramé is the discreet centre in the privateer’s town.

Discover it by walking along the Sillon promenade,

formerly just a strip of sand connecting Saint-Malo

Island and the rest of the town.

Leave the National Fort port-side and take to the seas,

breathe in the iodine and the centuries gone-by.

In the same place where the famous « Terre Neuve »

sailing boats waited for the Great Departure the kite

surfs wait for the wind before gliding and flying in

front of the windows of the beautiful grand villas :

Ker Malo at number 1, Les Lutins, Ellerslie, La

Suédoise, the Grand Hôtel des Thermes…

After the Grande Plage, the Boulevard de Rochebonne

takes you past the picturesque Briantais Park and

the beautiful gates of L’Ormerie, home to the poet

Tiercelin…

We are now in the heart of this « village in the town »

which distinguishes Paramé from the rest of Saint-

Malo. Take time to browse in the open-air market

held around the town hall (former church) and in the

covered market…

Stroll along the shopping

streets until you reach

the church…Take time to visit

the Parc des Chênes, further

along, and appreciate the

peace and quiet of its paths.
