Hire a car in Saint Malo with Hertz
Saint-Malo is a walled port city and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the whole of Brittany. Standing at the mouth of the Rance River, Saint-Malo has some of the best restaurants in the region, as well as captivating historical sights and tourist attractions.
Saint-Malo stands out above all the towns and cities on the Brittany coastline. Its high rampart walls are a good place to begin your tour, surveying the city from a height. Saint Vincent Cathedral and the Fort National are always popular attractions in the town itself. The Grand Aquarium is a wonderful indoor excursion which is invaluable for those with kids, and the Famous Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel is well worth a daytrip into Normandy.
If you're hiring a car in Saint-Malo, you''d do well to try and acquaint yourself with the Brittany coast. This is best achieved by identifying the long GR34 trail and following it, maybe walking parts and driving others. Rent a car in Saint-Malo and enjoy Brittany in its full splendour.
