History and features
St. Malo was founded in the 6th century by monks from Wales, as a city it was formed only by the middle of the 12th century. His whole life is directly connected with the sea: many famous travelers and explorers are local natives. The geographical position of the city is such that it could afford to distance itself from everyone and even in the 16th century declare itself an independent republic.
Saint-Malo suffered a great deal during the landing of the Allies on the mainland of Europe during World War II, but the efforts of the townspeople were completely restored in almost the same form as existed in the 18th century. Given that the population of the city is only slightly more than 50 thousand people, in the warm season there are up to 200 thousand guests at the same time, Saint-Malo's popularity with tourists is so high. In total, there are about 2.5 million travelers per year.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions Saint-Malo
The city is divided into three parts: Intra-Muros is a city within the walls, Saint Servan is the quarter on the mainland, and Rotnof is the eastern suburb. The old city stands on the island, during the tides the sea water approaches the very walls. Walking along its walls, you can get a full picture of the old city. Panorama of St. Malo is very interesting, and the terrain of the terrain provides an opportunity to see the structure of streets - narrow, crooked, stone-paved. In addition, this walk may have a purely utilitarian significance: the surroundings are well visible, so you can set goals for visiting, for example, the town of Dinard, Fort-Nacional and the island of Gran Be.
In the wall at the western tower there is an aquarium. About a hundred of its tanks are right in the wall and give an opportunity to admire the inhabitants of the coastal waters of the Atlantic. The sense center of the old city is Chateau Gaillard, a castle built here in the 16th and 17th centuries. Today it houses a museum with a non-trivial composition, telling about the history of the city and its famous inhabitants. There is also a gallery of wax figures, interesting for lovers of this genre, but nothing outstanding.
Near the shore stands the Solidor Tower (Tour Solidor), in the past - a powerful defensive structure, and now - one of the symbols of the city .In it you can see the exhibits of the museum of navigation .If we generalize, we can say that the island part of Saint-Malo is a typical medieval city in which the streets are narrow and paved with stone, the houses are stern and are so close together that not all the windows are exposed to the rays of the sun .Pleasant dissonance are cute shops, all sorts of galleries and hospitable cafes, which in many places are located today in the first floors of these old buildings .
The quarter of Saint-Servan has long been inhabited since the Roman times by the townspeople. And now here is the main part of residential quarters. As part of the modern infrastructure of this city, the Rana power station, which uses tidal energy, is interesting. It was opened in 1966 in the presence of Charles de Gaulle.
No less interesting is the Cathedral of Saint-Vincent, whose vaults are considered the oldest surviving in Brittany. The suburb of Rotnøf is not devoid of individuality, but it is not rich in sights.
In Saint-Malo you can go in for golf, horseback riding, sailing, go to a disco or play in a casino. Photos Saint-Malo (6)
