Location

The apartment is in the heart of the historic 'intra muros' district of St Malo, just two minutes’ walk from a lovely sandy beach. St Malo is surrounded by stone ramparts overlooking a series of beautiful clean sandy beaches, perfect for swimming, canoeing or just building sandcastles! Within the walls there is an excellent selection of restaurants, cafés and bars and many good shops.

The town was badly damaged in the war, but rebuilt with so much care that much of its original character has been restored. The town has strong links to the sea and retains a strong maritime tradition, with ferries running to the UK and the Channel Islands, as well as trips round the coast and across the river to Dinard.

Very close by is the quartier of St Servan, well worth a detour to visit 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 further on 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.

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