Location

The apartment is in the heart of the historic St Servan quartier of St Malo, just next to the yachting marina overlooking the beach 'Les Bas Sablons' with its attractive promenade and views across to the town walls. With a good selection of cafe/bars and restaurants and wide range of shops all within easy walking distance of the apartment, you can leave the car at home. Very close by is La Tour Solidor, an impressive stone tower, built as strongpoint to control the port of St Malo and dating back to 1382.

A couple of minutes’ walk takes you to the 'Cité D'Alet', a grassy headland overlooking the town with magnificent views to sea - here you can explore the wartime fortifications and visit the museum which recounts the struggle to liberate the area in 1944. The coastal footpath can be followed from here, allowing access to some beautiful views over the river Rance.

The ferry port can be reached easily on foot from the apartment in about 5 minutes, another 5 minutes walk brings you into the heart of St Malo itself with its stunning sandy beaches, seaside promenades, historic 'Intra Muros' not forgetting a wide choice of restaurants and up-market shops.

A ferry runs across the river to the elegant seaside resort of Dinard, which has its own charm and some more beautiful sandy beaches.

The Channel Islands can also be reached easily, with Condor Ferries running regular sailings from the port.
