Head for the beach

Saint-Malo, with its vast beach stretching out like a golden ribbon, its casino and its elaborate villas, is the ideal seaside resort for romantic weekends and family holidays. Stand on the sea wall and marvel at the different shades of colour and contrasts created between the sea and sky, or accept our invitation to admire the spectacular spring tides, which reveal a landscape of small islands and reefs at low tide. Make the most of this opportunity to walk out to the National Fort, designed by the military architect Vauban, and to the Petit-Bé and Grand Bé islands where you may salute the greatest of all romantic authors, Chateaubriand, whose tomb seems to jut out over the ocean.
