The Brittany peninsula, the longest French shoreline, offers a variety of
amazing landscapes. Each coastal area has its own identity, a subtle
marriage between the colours and shapes of the rocks and the sea.
This maritime influence has left its mark on Brittany’s history as many
hardened sailors, fishermen and other seafarers have left its coast to sail
the world’s oceans.
From the superb seascapes of its ever-changing coastline to the forests
and farmland of its inland areas, the “Haute Bretagne” is a land steeped
in history and full of contrasts, which contains architectural treasures
that will seduce both history enthusiasts and those who love exploring.
A town of artistic interest, Saint Malo has a turbulent maritime history.
Chateaubriand, Surcouf, Jacques Cartier… Whether they were writers,
privateers or sailors, Saint Malo was the cradle of many brave hearts. Just
like them, proud and independent, the Corsair city erects its forts and its
ramparts in full view of the sea, and appeals both by its character and its
exceptional setting.
Visitors can take in the stunning view of the bay of Saint Malo on a 1.5-
mile stroll around the ramparts that surround the walled city and enjoy a
crepe or a glass of artisan cider along the way. A visit to the City Museum
is a must to guide you through the history of Saint Malo and the stories
of its great personalities, history and the evolution of the region. There
are plenty of shops, restaurants and patisseries to really sample the
Brittany gastronomy experience. Saint Malo itself has ample hotels to
suit all budgets and requirements, which are mainly to be found in the
walled city and along the seafront, all within walking distance of the
congress venue.
