The 10 Best Things to do in Saint-Malo, Brittany
Saint-Malo, originally built as a walled citadel guarding the mouth of the Rance river, was for centuries home to feared pirates. They’ve all gone to Davy Jones’ Locker, though, and now it’s Brittany’s most-visited city. Walk the bustling streets of the reconstructed old city and the vast beaches, making sure to stop at the Grande Porte, Porte St-Vincent, the town’s castle with its Musée de la Ville and the Grand Aquarium.

You can walk the whole perimeter of the "Intra-muros" Saint Malo town, without coming down off the ramparts. It's not to be missed if you're visiting this beautiful town.

We decided to visit to escape a rainy day and are glad that we did. Interesting collection of sea creatures and the ‘abyss’ and submarine were fun.
