Cancale Beach

Highlight • Beach

The beach along the bay turns to a marsh at low tide, but the sand and waterfront promenade are still nice.

Cancale Harbour

Highlight • Other

The Port de la Houle is the maritime heart of the Breton town and has been closely linked to fishing and oyster farming for centuries. Located in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, fishing boats, oyster cutters and the vast oyster beds characterize the image of the port. The strong tides dictate the rhythm of life on the water and expose the oyster beds at low tide.

Today, the port is not only an important place for the regional oyster economy, but also a popular excursion destination. Along the promenade, restaurants and stalls invite you to enjoy fresh seafood directly by the sea.

Cancale

Highlight • Other

The city's development was primarily shaped by fishing, seafaring, and oyster farming. As early as the Middle Ages, oysters from Cancale were known beyond the region and later became an important economic sector. The port of La Houle developed into the center of maritime life. Today, Cancale, with its coastal landscape, port facilities, and vibrant oyster tradition, recalls its long history as a fishing and port town.

On these historic quays of the port of Saint-Malo anchor beautiful ships from past centuries. Turning around you face the entrance to the old walled city.

The Fort national was built in 1689 by Vauban. The "Kininklijke Fort" became a "National Fort" in 1789 and finally private property. The visit reminds of a memorable duel, in which Surcouf competes against 12 opponents. He spared the last… as a witness to his exploits!

Sillon Beach

Highlight • Beach

The seaside resort of Paramé borders the walled city and forms, as it were, the eastern extension of St-Malo. Its greatest asset is the Grande Plage*, a huge sandy beach that stretches between the ramparts of St Malo and the Pointe de Rochebonne. A beautiful, 3 km long promenade runs along the beach. The Grande Plage has several names, the most famous of which is the Plage du Sillon.
