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.
