Saint-Malo - City of Corsairs
Description:
Dear travelers, if you have not visited Saint-Malo, then you have not seen the true sea coast of France!
This city has a very different character from other cities. Saint-Malo, like an old seasoned sea wolf, stands majestically before you. The old city is a completely stone, impregnable fortress, now also lives its own unique life and the fame of brave sailors that has gone down the centuries.
Its past of great corsairs lives and is felt in every street to this day. This city deserves a separate visit for a few days.
To understand it and see its beauty from all sides, you need to stay there for at least 2-3 days, which allows excursions and tours to Brittany.
The city has a lot of stories and interesting places. On our excursion to Brittany, I will tell you who corsairs are and we will be able to visit one of the corsair houses.
We will be able to see Saint-Malo and its port, its modern part, where there are many beautiful villas, from the height of the towers of its old, old castle-powerful fortress of Anna of Breton, where there are chests similar to those in the song “15 pirates per dead man’s chest”. “Ah hahaha and a bottle of rum...”
By the way, just from Saint-Malo once a year ships go to the race for rum - a solo voyage to Guadeloupe. The start of the race is a very beautiful celebration.
The fortress of Saint-Malo represents the history of the naval courage of the royal corsairs and the French fleet.
My friend the owner of the ship will take us along the walls of the old fortress and you will see the powerful walls of bastions from the sea, the place where the feast of blessing of sailors takes place.
Not far from Saint-Malo, I will show you the mysterious castle of the famous writer and the farm of the discoverer of Canada.
On an excursion to Brittany we will see a very beautiful oceanic aquarium and you can have lunch in a restaurant on the shore, where the local cure for 20 years carved sculptures from the rocks.
If you have time, I will take you to the city of English villas and the English film festival - Dinar, where on the beach there is a sculpture of the famous English director Hitchcock, who is attacked by "Mad Birds".
You will not regret choosing excursions or tours to Brittany and coming to Saint-Malo!
