St Malo was the next stop in our summer trip and we absolutely loved it!

When there - do walk along the walls, try the crepes and visit the tidal islands!

And, quoting Wikipedia:

Saint-Malo (UK: /sæ̃ ˈmɑːloʊ/, US: /ˌsæ̃ məˈloʊ/, French: [sɛ̃ malo] ; Gallo: Saent-Malô; Breton: Sant-Maloù) is a historic French port in Ille-et-Vilaine, Brittany on the English Channel coast.

The walled city had a long history of piracy, earning much wealth from local extortion and overseas adventures. In 1944, the Allies heavily bombarded Saint-Malo, which was garrisoned by German troops. The city changed into a popular tourist centre, with a ferry terminal serving the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey, as well as the Southern English settlements of Portsmouth, Hampshire and Poole, Dorset.

    I came to search and found your lovely video after reading All The Light We Cannot See. Much of the story takes place in this beautiful place.

    Thank you… Saint Malo also has Europe’s fastest and highest vs lowest of tidal waves especially in the winter that is absolutely a sight to behold

    I went to Saint Malo last year, very nice, I didn't manage to visit the whole city but this year I will definitely succeed. By the way, did you visit Rennes?

    St. Malo, for me, is the prime exemplar of a war-blitzed city that managed to faithfully reconstruct itself without it feeling like a lame facsimile of the original razed town. Rouen comes a close second in this regard. If only Brest, Le Havre and Dunkirk, to name just 3 ignominious French candidates, had followed suit. You wander around intra-muros St. Malo, and unless someone pointed it out, you would have no inkling that this place was 80% destroyed. The feel is authentic. The rest of the town is worth a pop, too. The St. Servan suburb has a salty, unpretentious ambience, with decent walkable streets. Perhaps the real glory of St. Malo is natural: the sea and sand. It’s quite possibly the most glorious stretch of urban beach in all France. Even out-of-season it has a wonderful, sweeping allure that other, more reputed French city-beaches could only dream of.

    I was doing my ancestry search and I tracked it back to Saint Malo to Rene Cartier (1377-1448) . How would I go about finding more information about him? There is nothing else I can find online. I suppose learning French would be ideal. Awesome video by the way.
