Saint Malo

From Dinan, we will travel to Saint Malo, also known as “Cité Corsaire” (City of Pirates). St. Malo blends 18th century elegance with 16th century provincial port. Destroyed by the Germans in World War II, St. Malo was painstakingly rebuilt stone by stone so that today it is perfect but poignant replica of itself. Jacques Cartier, who is credited with having discovered Canada, lived in and sailed from Saint Malo.
