Saint-Sauveur Chapel, Saint-Malo

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel Saint-Sauveur is today an exhibition center since 1999. Its construction was completed in 1612 after 5 years of work. But in 1737, the building threatens to collapse and Simon Garangeau is charged with rebuilding the building according to a new plan. The chapel was donated to worship in 1743 until 1792. Like many other religious buildings, the chapel served as a fodder store, powder magazine and prison, until 1803 when it was returned to worship service chapel at the Hotel-Dieu. Allied bombing in 1944 destroyed the building. The restoration was not completed until 1974. maisonssacrees.blogspot.com/2014/09/saint-malo-ille-et-vilaine.html

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.

Fountain of the Oyster Washers and Saint Méen Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Fontaine des Laveuses d’Huîtres (Fountain of the Oyster Washers) is a bronze sculpture in the Place de l'Église Saint-Méen. It was created by sculptor Jean Fréour and inaugurated in 1999 to commemorate the women of Cancale who washed oysters by hand in the early 20th century.
At the moment (as of July 2026), the fountain is not in operation and is nevertheless worth seeing.

Cancale Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The Cancale Museum is in the building of the former Saint-Méen church in Cancale, in the French department of Ille-et-Vilaine, in the Brittany region. The church was built by the engineer and architect Siméon Garangeau between 1715 and 1727 on the site of a primitive church dating back to the Middle Ages. Too small, it was replaced by the current Saint-Méen church, built in 1875 by the architect Alfred-Louis Frangeul (komoot.com/highlight/475853). Since the 1980s, it has housed the Cancale Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancienne_%C3%A9glise_Saint-M%C3%A9en_de_Cancale

View of Cancale and Its Harbor

Highlight • Viewpoint

Cancale is the oyster capital. If you pass here at low tide, you will see the cages used for their cultivation. There's nothing like enjoying a hamper of fresh oysters with a view of the sea.

View of Cancale and La Houle Harbor

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Dol, head towards Charrueix. You can then go through all the beaches offering sailing or wheeled sports. Or on the sea, which spread out on the road of this seafront which leads to Cancale.

June 23, 2025,La Vélomaritime - Schleife zwischen Saint-Malo und Cancale

The port city of St. Malo, with its medieval city walls and reconstructed historic center, is a real hotspot in northwest Brittany. We continued on to the oyster capital of Cancale. Best oysters ever🦪

September 4, 2022,Radtour von St. Malo nach Cancale ❤😋

The first 10 km were quite unattractive in terms of the route, except for a short stretch of beach with a pretty promenade. We were happy when at some point we were able to turn off the busy country road onto a small peninsula. But soon the fun was over, because the bike path ended in Nirvana. First we tried …

The nearly 48 km bike ride led us from Cancale, in bright sunshine and a fresh sea breeze, along country roads and quiet bike paths through typical Breton villages with granite houses and flower-filled gardens, to Saint-Malo, the legendary corsair city. Saint-Malo welcomed us with its imposing city walls, which enclose the heart of the city like a protective stone …
