The tour of the city walls of St. Malo lasts about an hour and is a must when you are there. It offers wonderful views of the sea, the small islands (Grand Be) and of course the city. You can start the tour at various points and pass various towers and bastions: Bastion Saint-Louis, Bastion de la Hollande, Tour Bidouane.

Absolute recommendation - a circumnavigation of the city on top of the city wall - is free - you can leave the wall in several places and go to the old town or the beach.

The Remparts de Saint-Malo are the impressive city walls of the historic old town of Saint-Malo, a port city in Brittany. They are among the city's most famous landmarks and offer a unique walking tour with spectacular views of the sea, the harbor, and the city.

"Ni Français, ni Breton, Malouin suis" - "neither Frenchman, nor Bretone, inhabitant
of Saint-Malo I am "- this is the motto of the proud citizens of Saint-Malo,
with its approximately 55,000 inhabitants in the north of Brittany on the Côte d'Émeraude
lies. Its heyday reached the city in the 16th century. By fishing
and commerce, she gained wealth, in 1590 even her own republic was proclaimed.
Dreaded was Saint-Malo on Dutch and English merchant ships
the city is home to wild corsairs, especially Robert Surcoufs, who with his
fast and agile ship "Renard" (Fuchs) went on foray. In August
In 1944, after the landing of the Allies in Normandy, Saint-Malo was admitted to
about 85 percent destroyed by bombing, as the then fortress commander
Colonel Andreas von Aulock refused to surrender. In contrast to
But Saint-Malo tried to get as close as possible to other heavily damaged cities
true to the original reconstruction. Saint-Malo is one of the most visited tourist destinations today

An absolute must! But early in the morning is best, then you have the wall (almost) to yourself!

Saint-Malo is a port city in Brittany, in northwestern France. The old town is surrounded by high granite walls and was once a stronghold for buccaneers (pirates approved by the king). The Cathedral of Saint-Malo in the center of the old town was built in Romanesque and Gothic style and has stained glass windows depicting the history of the city. Not far away is La Demeure de Corsaire, a museum in the house of a buccaneer from the 18th century. We liked the city very much. The free trail on the city wall is highly recommended. There are "by the meter" beautiful and interesting views.

An imperative when you come to Saint-Malo. It's free, easily accessible and offers a magnificent view of the bay of St Malo. Very pretty walk on these historic ramparts. If there was only one thing to do in St Malo it would be this walk. A must for any visit to Saint Malo. And what's more, it's free.

If you are already in the area, you should not miss St. Malo with the old town. A tour of the city wall is a good start.

The beginnings of Saint-Malo date back to the 6th century, but the actual history of the town begins in the 12th century. At that time, the construction of Saint-Vincent's Cathedral began, and at the same time, the northwestern part of the city, surrounded on three sides by water, began to be fortified with a huge defensive wall, insurmountable at that time.
To this day, this approximately three-kilometer-long wall enclosing the Intra Muros district offers the opportunity to circumnavigate Saint-Malo.

Very nice old town. For an initial overview, you can take a tour of the city wall. Very good opportunity to get an overview of the “intra muros” area.

St. Malot is like a fortress. The lightness of the summer can not be found here. For thunderous sea and interesting fortified architecture.

No entrance fee. The walking tour is a must. The city walls go around the entire old town. You always have beautiful views of the sea, the harbor or, of course, the city.

The city walls (Les Remparts) enclose the old town of Intra-Muros and were built between the 12th and 17th centuries to protect it from attacks. The walkable circular route offers spectacular views of the sea, the Mole des Noires, beaches such as the Mole Beach, and the old town. Numerous bastions and gates, including the Saint-Philippe Bastion and the Dinan Gate, are located along the walls.

Very nice old town and when you walk along the city walls you can take some great photos and get a first impression of the size of historic Saint-Malo. A visit is highly recommended.
