Saint-Malo Essentials

Known as the 'Corsair City,' Saint-Malo is defined by its massive 12th-century granite ramparts and the dramatic tidal islands of Fort National and Grand Bé. This collection features the historic Château de Saint-Malo and the grave of writer François-René de Chateaubriand. Beyond the city walls, the selection extends to the 9.5-meter Menhir de Champ-Dolent, the Gothic architecture of Dol Cathedral, and the medieval fortress at Combourg, illustrating the maritime and inland heritage of Upper Brittany.
