Discover Saint-Malo, the pirate city
Facing the ocean and surrounded by ramparts steeped in history, Saint-Malo is a city with a unique character, proud of its pirate past. Strolling through its cobbled streets is like travelling back in time, between maritime legends, architectural treasures and wide horizons. A free and indomitable city, Saint-Malo appeals to heritage enthusiasts and lovers of the great outdoors alike.
From the Les Treize Assiettes hotel-restaurant, located in Val-Saint-Père in the heart of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, you can reach Saint-Malo in less than an hour.
A great idea for a getaway on the Emerald Coast!
Begin your discovery with the famous rampart walk that surrounds the old town.
From the ramparts, you will enjoy an exceptional panorama of the sea, the Channel Islands and the beaches that border the city.
The spectacle of the tides offers changing and fascinating views, perfect for contemplation.
As you descend into the intramural area, let yourself be guided by the lively narrow streets. First, there is the castle, with its four towers and keep, which now houses the town hall.
Not far from there is Saint-Vincent Cathedral and the 18th-century shipowners' houses: you will get a good idea of the city's prosperity during the era of great maritime expeditions.
Also not to be missed: the house of Duchess Anne, typical of the pre-Renaissance Breton style, and the house of the Poets on Rue du Pélicot.
At low tide, take the passage to Fort National, designed by Vauban, or walk to Grand Bé.
There you will see Chateaubriand's tomb overlooking the sea, facing the horizon as the writer wished.
Bon Secours beach, with its seawater swimming pool, is ideal for a swim or a moment of relaxation facing the sea!
Don't leave Saint-Malo without trying a crêpe or a kouign amann: a well-deserved reward after exploring the city of pirates!
You can also enjoy the gourmet local cuisine of our restaurant, 6 km from Avranches.
