Tourism in the heart of the Emerald Coast and next to Mont Saint-Michel
Between land and sea
- Mont Saint-Michel: A Unesco World Heritage site, it never ceases to amaze all who approach it. The beauty of the Bay at low tide, the imposing rocky peak, the narrow streets to climb to reach the summit... The Mont Saint Michel can be visited by all ages and offers an infinite variety of views and colors, depending on the tides, the sky and the seasons.
- Boat trips on the Bays of Cancale and La Rance
- Saint Suliac: One of France's most beautiful villages, nestled on the banks of the Rance, 5 km from Saint-Malo.
Sea, Emerald Coast
- The Emerald Coast owes its name to the emerald-green color of its waters. Play of light and reflections with the sun and the coastal landscape.
- Saint-Malo: the corsair city stands proud with its ramparts facing the sea. A port of departure for ocean adventurers past and present, such as the Route du Rhum and the Transat Québec/Saint-Malo, the city of Saint-Malo offers a maze of lively shopping streets where it's good to share a crêpe or a local beer; the "chemin de ronde" allows you to discover all the surrounding viewpoints. At low tide, the sea retreats and the vast Sillon becomes a magnificent playground, with access to the Petit Bé fort. You can also discover the underwater flora and fauna.
- Medieval town of Dinan: beautiful houses and the Chemin des Douaniers to Dinard and the Rance estuary.
- Cancale: Here, you'll find oysters with a wonderfully iodized taste.
- La pointe du Grouin: Breathtaking scenery in summer and winter in fine weather. Steep cliffs, moorland landscapes and the Mont Saint-Michel in the distance.
