A few centuries ago, Saint-Malo was an important place for privateers, pirates and explorers! It's even the birthplace of Jacques Cartier.
And now? It's the beloved spot of the Bretons! Why? Because a Dinan Saint-Malo bus or a Rennes Saint-Malo bus is cheap and convenient! Instead of a trip by sailboat, we're offering you a trip by Ouibus! Less romantic but faster!
A little expedition you absolutely must do: cross the beach at low tide to visit Grand Bé island!
And why not a little visit to the Saint Malo Aquarium? It's the perfect activity if you're travelling with family!
So you're feeling like a trip to Saint-Malo? We've prepared our best tips for you and even the answers to the famous questions:
If you dream of pirates and sword fights, Saint-Malo is where you need to go! You'll never forget your little getaway in this city where everything smells of the sea and everything recalls its privateering past.

What can we say about this beautiful Brittany destination? If there's one thing we can guarantee you, it's that you won't get bored during your stay in Saint-Malo.
THE thing to do is walk along the ramparts, that way you'll see Saint-Malo in all its splendour. It's a very pleasant walk, especially with the view it offers over the sea and the whole city.
While visiting the ramparts, you can also stop by Fort National Saint-Malo for an even more beautiful view of the city. You can then head to Grand Bé island, where the romantic writer Chateaubriand is buried. Don't go there on a whim though, you won't be able to visit it except at low tide.
Finally, we can't talk about the privateer city without mentioning the Saint-Malo Aquarium. It offers touch pools and a simulated submarine ride. In short, almost all the attractions in Saint-Malo are must-sees!
