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.

The city walls are among the most important historical structures in the Breton port city. The fortifications that still exist today were built mainly between the 12th and 18th centuries and were expanded and reinforced several times. The approximately two-kilometer-long wall circuit encloses the old town ("Intra-Muros") and offers impressive views of the sea, the offshore islands, and the Breton coast. The defensive walls are reminiscent of the time when Saint-Malo played an important role as a fortified port city and a major center of seafaring.
