August 4, 2026, Saint-Malo Intra-Muros

The narrow streets of Intra-Muros, the old town of Saint-Malo, are lined with bistros, crêperies, international restaurants, boutiques, and souvenir shops. The Saint-Vincent Cathedral has artistic stained-glass windows. In contrast, the walkable ramparts offer sea views and access to Plage du Môle and Plage de Bon Secours beaches. At low tide, visitors can walk to the 1689 Fort National, located on a rock in the sea, as well as to the islands of Grand Bé and Petit Bé.

Impossible or extremely difficult to pass. Road uphill along motorway into Saint Malo closed for cyclists. Alternative trough park is extremely steep. Didi it with luggage and barely made it.

Impressive technical structure. Unfortunately, the exhibition was closed when we visited. I am interested in the question of whether there is a fish ladder and much more about the technology.

The Esplanade Saint-Vincent is the central square at the main entrance to the Old Town. It is located directly in front of the historic Porte Saint-Vincent and connects the city walls to the Plage du Sillon beach. The square serves as an important meeting point for visitors and locals and is the starting point for many city tours. It houses the Tourist Information Office, a large parking garage (Q-Park Saint-Vincent), public restrooms, charging stations for electric cars, bus stops, and a taxi stand. The esplanade is barrier-free and therefore easily accessible for people with limited mobility. It is also frequently used for markets, concerts, and cultural events.
