You will also visit the Cathédrale, a French national monument whose impressive spire can be seen from miles away. Then, stroll along the ramparts, a historic structure built in 1689 by the military architect Vauban to protect the port of Saint-Malo, and enjoy beautiful views of the harbour. Your guide will tell you about the city's most famous personalities, such as Chateaubriand, Robert Surcouf, and Jacques Cartier, and show you the tidal islands just outside the city.
