The old town of Intra-Muros, enclosed by mighty granite walls, is reminiscent of the era of sailors, merchants, and corsairs who shaped the city's reputation for centuries. The city walls that still stand today, with their towers and gates, were mainly built between the 12th and 18th centuries and invite you to take a stroll with impressive views of the sea, the offshore islands, and the coast. Among the city's landmarks are the offshore Fort National, the Saint-Vincent Cathedral, and the historic harbor. Saint-Malo is closely linked to maritime history: Important figures such as Jacques Cartier and Mahé de La Bourdonnais hail from the city.

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.

The old town is one of the best-preserved medieval town centers in Brittany. Narrow, cobbled streets, lovingly restored half-timbered houses, and mighty city walls shape its historic appearance. Over centuries, Dinan developed into an important center of trade and crafts, whose prosperity is still visible today in the numerous historic buildings. Particularly characteristic are the winding streets, small squares, and the well-preserved fortifications that make up the special charm of the city.

Great place, those nearby should stop by. But first, take a look at the tide calendar, because only at low tide does the place unfold its true splendor.
