The Fountain of the Oyster Washers is a bronze sculpture located in the square of the Church of Saint-Méen. It was created by the sculptor Jean Fréour and inaugurated in 1999 to commemorate the women of Cancale who washed oysters by hand in the early 20th century.

The Grand'Porte de Saint-Malo is the oldest surviving gate in the city, built in 1582. It consists of two massive round towers connected by a wall and served as the main entrance to the fortified old town (Intra-Muros) until 1708. The gate features niches containing statues of the Madonna and Child ("Notre-Dame des Miracles") and "Saint Christopher," the latter of which is associated with the legend of stopping the great fire of 1661. The Grand'Porte played an important role in defense, trade, and customs control.

At 3 km long, this is the largest sandy beach in Saint-Malo. Walking along this beach, you can reach Intra-Muros in Paramé. Sillon Beach includes Grande Plage, Hoguette Beach, and Rochebonne Beach. La Digue was built from 1883 to 1913 on an old sandbar (the Sillon) that once connected Paramé to the walled city and provided the only dry-land access at low tide. Originally, a strip of sand was covered with dunes that grew higher and higher as one moved toward Rochebonne, with only a succession of windmills remaining. The first causeway was built in 1509, rebuilt and widened several times... Le Digue, 1,671 meters long, runs along Grande Plage and offers a pleasant stroll, lined with numerous villas built towards the end of the 19th century. Along the Sillon, a line of breakwaters protects the seawall from the force of the waves. Built in the early 19th century based on an idea by the civil engineer Robinault de St-Servan, the oak breakwaters have a depth at least equal to, or even greater than, their visible height.

beautiful road and beautiful view

one of the tide mills on the Rance, worth the detour

Going back up towards St-Malo, a pretty path to the left (Rance valley) allows you to partly avoid the D117.
