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 !

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.
