Hiking

Busy square behind the castle - here there are some Gastrobetriebe to host the tourists who arrive directly at the castle in the old town.

Place Chateaubriand is a central square in the historic Intra-Muros district of Saint-Malo. Surrounded by important buildings such as the Hôtel de Ville and the Hôtel France et Chateaubriand, which houses restaurants, the square is a lively meeting place with cafés, shops, and restaurants. Also nearby is the birthplace of François-René de Chateaubriand.

In Rue Chateaubriand stands the birthplace of François-René de Chateaubriand (1768–1848), one of the most important French writers of Romanticism. The poet, who came from Saint-Malo, found his final resting place on the Île du Grand Bé off the city walls – with a wide view over the sea.
