The birthplace of François-René de Chateaubriand is located in Saint-Malo on what is now Rue Chateaubriand. Chateaubriand, one of the most important French writers of the 19th century, was born there on September 4, 1768. The building, now part of the Hôtel de la Gicquelais, bears the family coat of arms and Chateaubriand's motto above the entrance. "Mon sang atteint les bannières de France" ("My blood reaches the banners of France") This motto expresses his pride in his heritage and his connection to France.

The Fort à la Reine is a historic bastion of the city walls of Saint-Malo, originally built in the 17th century by order of Vauban and later heightened in the 18th century. Located at the northwestern tip of the city, near the Tour Bidouane and the Plage de Bon-Secours, it provided strategic defense across the bay. Today, it is freely accessible, part of the city wall circuit, and offers panoramic views.

The Bidouane Tower is a historic gunpowder tower at the northwestern tip of the city walls, built in the 15th century for the defense of the city. In 1693, an attack by Anglo-Dutch forces on the tower failed when a ship loaded with explosives ran aground prematurely. In 1889, the tower lost its military function and today serves as a lookout point with panoramic views of the Bay of Saint-Malo, the islands of Grand Bé and Petit Bé, and the coast as far as Cap Fréhel.

Don't hesitate to stop and take the time to visit this 11th century castle and in particular its patrol path offering a magnificent 360° view of the surrounding countryside.

Please note that this road has been closed again since the last storm on December 22, 2024, and the erosion of the coastline is leading to more frequent closures. The possibility of a permanent closure to traffic is even under consideration.

Very nice outing by the sea and inland with few km on national and departmental roads. Not too technical apart from a few passages which require a little commitment.
