When visiting Saint Malo, the ramparts are the best part as you risk rain to brave the wind and look outwards, or gaze in wonder at the uniform wall of buildings inside. St Malo is filled with tacky tourist shops, food sellers, restaurants and a bewildering number of accommodation houses that jam the narrow streets. My suggestion - stick to the ramparts.

The ramparts are part of the wall that surrounds the old town of Saint-Malo. It is not a continuous loop but the longest section of the ramparts faces the English Channel side. Nice views of the town and the bay. It is free.

We won’t forget this place, beautiful view. There’s a “beach” and a “pool” for you to enjoy warm weather. We went in the beginning of October so it was a warm weather and perfect to walk through the “walls”, taking some pictures and after this put on your swimsuit and enjoy the beach and the pool. And it wasn’t crowded ✌🏻

The best thing to do in town is to take a long walk along the top of the city walls. The views of the bay, sea, harbor, and the town are extraordinary. You will find statues along the way and see some restaurants down below.

Many people miss this beautiful town on the French coast. Much of the series "All the Light You Cannot See" was filmed here. This is one of the few towns in France that was mostly destroyed during WWII. Thankfully, many of the new structures within the ramparts have been rebuilt to reflect the original architecture. If you have time take the short ferry ride to Rinard across the harbor. The views are spectacular.

A pleasant walk along the sun drenched walls of St Malo. Stunning views across the surrounding seascape from the medieval town walls. The salt water sea filled swimming pool was interesting to watch the people dive into the water. Good views of the surrounding beaches. Steep steps in places though. Takes around an hour at a leisurely pace to walk the walls.
