Itinerary

1. Demeure de Corsaire

You can see here a remarkable alignment of privateer houses, all rebuilt identically after the great bombing of 1944.

2. St. Louis Bastion

You now arrive at the bastion of Saint-Louis, named in honor of Louis XIV. The houses bordering the Bastion are the only ones that survived the bombing of 44.

3. Demeure de Corsaire

You pass the famous residence of the Corsair classified historical monument! It is one of the last shipowners’ hotels still standing!

4. Saint-Malo

This pretty closed bridge crossing the street is part of the remains of the former convent of the Recollets. The order of the Récollets brothers comes from a reform of the Franciscans.

5. Rue de la Halle aux Blés

This nice building with its beautiful glass roof and its metal structure is the Wheat Hall.

6. La Java Café

Here you are, facing a rather original coffee. If you are smiling at its name and its Ranking “Historical and Hysterical” intrigues you, let me say a few words about the street corner cafe at the end of town opposite the port!

7. Place Chateaubriand & Porte Saint-Vincent

You arrive on Place Chateaubriand, lined with beautiful mansions and many cafes and restaurants.

8. Chateau de Saint Malo

This castle overlooking the ocean has the particularity of having been built in several stages. But always with the same objective: to ensure the guardianship of the Dukes of Brittany on the city of Saint-Malo.

9. Birthplace of Chateaubriand

You have noticed that everything around you is now called Chateaubriand. Street, square, cafes, hotels, etc.

10. Porte Saint Thomas

The St. Thomas Gate, which you use to get to the beach of the fan, was built in 1740 during the expansion of the city.

11. Fort National

So here you are on the rocky promontory housing the famous National Fort.

12. Rue des Bès

The Fort National offers you an excellent panorama of the city of Saint-Malo facing you behind its ramparts and its castle.

13. Fort La Reine

The stronghold you now reach is called Fort the Queen.

14. Rue du Chat Qui Danse

A little anecdote like that by the way, because the street names of Saint-Malo are often full of history. The Rue du Chat qui danse takes its name from the most famous English attack on the city.

15. Tour Bidouane

Built at the corner of the enclosure, on the tip of the rock, the Bidouane tower is in the shape of a horseshoe like any artillery tower that respects itself in the fifteenth century.

16. Rue Robert Surcouf

Enjoy the beautiful Place du Québec with its white and blue flags flying in the French sky and admire the view of the bay.

17. Grand Bé

If the tide allows it, I say it again, watch out for the tides: go see Big Bé!

18. Tombeau de Chateaubriand

Respecting his wish to be buried there in order to continue my quote “his conversation with the sea”, Chateaubriand’s grave, sober and nameless, lies with the only epitaph: “A great French writer wanted to rest here to hear only the sea and the wind.

19. Piscine d'eau de mer de la plage Bon-secours

The natural pool you see below in front of you is a strong image of the Beach of Bon-Secours.

20. Les chiens du guet

Here, as you pass over the Porte Saint-Pierre on the ramparts, you have a plunging view of the Place de la lookout.

21. Bastion de la Hollande

This Bastion was built following the collapse of part of the wall of the rampart. It was called the Dutch Bastion, because at the time of the works we were at war with Holland.

22. St. Philip Bastion

You arrive at the Bastion of Saint-Philippe which dates from the second expansion of the city, carried out between 1714 and 1720.

23. Porte de Dinan

The complete tour of the citadel allows you to discover the secrets of nine fortified gates.

24. Cale de DINAN

Facing the bay of Saint-Malo, is the famous seaside resort of Dinard, famous for its imposing Belle Époque villas, and its British film festival.

25. Môle des Noires

The beach of the Môle des Noires, well sheltered from the wind, at the foot of the city, offers you to go see it from further away, at the end there, at the end of the pier.

26. Rond-Point de la Grande Porte

This is the oldest fortified gate in Saint-Malo! Try to imagine that at the time we arrived at this door by boat!

27. Saint-Vincent Cathedral of Saint-Malo

Here you are, facing St. Vincent's Cathedral. It was built in the 12th century.

28. Rue Duchesse Anne

You can now see the house called Duchess Anne, easily recognizable with its pointed tower and its old balcony.

29. Place de la Poissonnerie

Here you are at the "Marc'had Pesked", excuse my Breton, here is the Fish Hall!
