St Malo is built on an island on the coast of Brittany and forms a natural harbour. The old citadel the Cathédrale St Vincent is the first thing you see coming in to the port.
One of the most fascinating things to do in Saint Malo is to explore the fortified city walls. These walls are an incredible feat of engineering that were built in the 17th and 18th centuries to protect the city from foreign invaders. The walls stretch for 1.8 miles (3 kilometers) around the old town and offer stunning views of the surrounding sea and countryside.
You can enter the fortified area through one of the many gates in the city walls. Once inside, you'll find yourself transported back in time to a different era. The narrow cobblestone streets, the old stone buildings, and the ancient cannons all add to the atmosphere of the place.
As you walk along the walls, you'll come across several lookout points that offer breathtaking views of the sea and the town below. Make sure to take your time and enjoy the scenery. You can also stop at one of the many cafes or restaurants that are located within the walls and enjoy a cup of coffee or a meal while taking in the stunning view.
Don't forget to visit the Fort National, which is located on a small island just off the coast of Saint Malo. This fortress was built in the 17th century to protect the city from sea attacks and is now open to visitors. It offers a unique perspective of the fortified city walls from the sea.
Chateau de Chambord is an enchanting destination nestled in the heart of the Loir et Cher region in France.
This architectural masterpiece, known for its distinctive French Renaissance architecture, is one of the most recognizable chateaus globally. Its iconic facade has fascinated tourists and history enthusiasts for centuries.
