Top 10 Historic Sites in Saint-Malo, Brittany

November 1, 2021 Harland Bartelt

Saint-Malo, originally built as a walled citadel guarding the mouth of the Rance river, was for centuries home to feared pirates. They’ve all gone to Davy Jones’ Locker, though, and now it’s Brittany’s most-visited city. Walk the bustling streets of the reconstructed old city and the vast beaches, making sure to stop at the Grande Porte, Porte St-Vincent, the town’s castle with its Musée de la Ville and the Grand Aquarium.

Les Rochers Sculptes

Reviewed By 749rachelf

Happened upon this after lunch at Le Benetin (which i highly recommend!) - sculpted over 15 years by a deaf Abbott between 1898 and 1909, faces and creatures decorate the way down to the sea. Stunning views of the ocean. well worth the 2.50 euros to explore.
