"Fortress Town on the invasion shore" Saint-Malo by Orchid
Saint-Malo Travel Guide: 228 reviews and 744 photos
After a glorious week in sunny Paris - such a change from grey, dull London, we began our first 2 month Eurail adventure with a trip to the famous town of St Malo, with the later intention to stop by nearby Mont St Michel.
The town centre is surrounded by it's intact defensive walls. A couple of forts are located on other small islands nearby. You can walk to them at low tide, but beware, the tide rises fast and you might get stranded.
Inside the town the streets are narrow and the building grey and slaty.
The surrounding bays are filled with marinas and new housing developments. Across the estuary to Dinard, the same thing continues.
