St Malo

Said by many to be the most attractive channel port in France, it’s not hard to see why Saint Malo, in Brittany, has this reputation. The ancient walls surrounding the village are quite spectacular, and walking these ramparts a particular treat. And once inside, you won’t be disappointed. A network of cobbled streets brimming with restaurants, stylish bars and plenty of shops await, and The Musee de la Ville can provide you with everything you need to know about the town’s history, which is fascinating. Out front there are lovely sandy beaches to make the most of the sun, enjoy a spot of windsurfing, or take a boat ride around the bay. Then settle down and devour a fresh seafood supper at one of the lovely sea-front restaurants.
