    The Solidor tower is located at the mouth of the Rance, in the district of Saint-Servan and was built in 1382 in order to control the city of Saint-Malo. It is composed of three floors and has three round towers 18 meters high and a staircase of 104 steps.
    Its life was very lively: The military occupied it for a long time to watch the estuary in order to block trade between Saint-Malo and Dinan. Subsequently, its floors were used as a prison during the Revolution and then as a warehouse under the Empire.
    A cross resides at the foot of the tower. It was erected in 1985 on the rock where Jacques Cartier cast off for Canada in 1534
