"Saint-Malo the proud "Corsair" town" Saint-Malo by Martinewezel

Saint-Malo Travel Guide: 228 reviews and 744 photos

Saint Malo, the corsair city, called the pearl of the Emeraude coast by the Malouins, is full of history, legends and famous people.

Jacques Cartier, who took posession of Canada in name of the French king and pirate Robert Surcouf, who became rich by cheasing English ships in the Indian Ocean are the town's favourites.

Beside a lot of magnificent sites, Saint Malo has also breathtaking coastal sceneries to discover.

Intra Muros

The old center is surrounded by ramparts. Those are free and I'd certainly advise a walk around the old town. Only accessible to pedestrians! Mind your hat while there is always a strong wind!

    Looks fine! Great that the ramparts are only accessible to pedestrians.
