Walk the Ramparts in Saint Malo

by Beausoleil - last update: Dec 22, 2007

St. Malo

Fort St. Malo Ramparts
You can walk around the entire Old Town of Saint-Malo on the ramparts. It's a really fun walk and the views are spectacular from every point. This is a cross-channel ferry just past a cannon . . . the old and the new!

There is a large park area behind the cannon. Other parts of the ramparts take you above the city streets.
View from the Ramparts
What a beautiful city.

Where do we park the car?

There is parking right below the ramparts at the harbor. We arrived before July first and a gentleman informed us parking was free until July first. Another big plus for Saint-Malo.

Sigh . . . Paul just told me the parking has changed. He said, "The parking around St malo has now changed. Only free from 8 Oct. to 15 March."

So sad . . . but at least it is still free from Oct. to March. That is good if you go out of season. (See Paul's comment below and THANK YOU PAUL.)

 A good description about how to find the restaurant in Neant s/ Yvel. We'll try it this Summer! Hope they still serve that delicious chicken dish you're writing about. I'll let you know.Thanks for the tips!
