1 Day in Saint Malo: The Corsair City Itinerary

If you only have a single day, you must focus entirely on the historic walled centre and its immediate coastline. This plan keeps you moving between the high ramparts, the narrow cobbled streets, and the tidal beaches. You will see the grand mansions funded by privateering and step out onto the ocean floor when the water retreats. It is a concentrated dose of maritime history, requiring sturdy walking shoes and a close eye on the tide tables.
