Main attractions of Saint-Malo

Modern Saint-Malo presents a magnificent and harmonious combination of medieval castles and cathedrals, modern hotels, bars, restaurants and clubs. It should be emphasized that the old town was 80% destroyed by bombing in 1944. All cathedrals and buildings inside the city walls were rebuilt after the war, preserving the features of the style in which they were built.

Description of the sights of Saint-Malo should begin with the historical center - the district of Intro Muros. It is inside the fortress walls that the pearls of the city's history and architecture are located - the Grand-Port Gate, the main gate of the citadel of Port Saint-Vincent and the city castle itself, which now houses the town hall and the La Ville Museum.

If you collect photos of the sights of the cities you have visited during your walks in Saint-Malo, be sure to take them at the Cathedral of Saint-Vensant (X-XII centuries) or the Arch of Recole.

Saint-Malo's sightseeing map will show you many worth seeing outside the castle walls. First of all, at low tide, visit the small islet of Grand Baie, home to the tomb of French writer Chateaubriand.

In the district of Saint-Serven, you'll probably be interested in the famous Tour Solidor (Gate of the River, built in 1382), which now houses a maritime museum.
