- DavidLille, France1,593 contributionsThe ramparts are in great condition, and what's more they feature interesting examples of vauban architecture. Worth a walk around.Written November 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- George SMiami Beach, FL1,107 contributionsA very scenic beach beginning from the Intra-murks and heading north. It is of hard sand, not that wavey and extremely clean. In early September, there weren’t many bathers but a lot of people strolling on the sand. The most memorable aspect of the beach are the tides, that come in very fast in the evening and submerge most of it.Written September 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carol TRouen, France156 contributionsWe visited here primarily to get out of the heat of the day! It was well maintained and had some beautiful specimens. Unfortunately the translation from French to English at each tank is very poor.
It doesn't compare to the outstanding aquariums at Brest and Cherbourg, but we still enjoyed it.Written September 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great example of early military engineering. The only issue I had was that there was that the only signage was in French (which unfortunately I did not master). We walked to the fort via the beach, BUT BEWARE, in late afternoon, the tide comes in really quick and deep which would make the beach route impossible — one need a boat to exit or enter the fort.

- Sandman753Clitheroe, UK113 contributionsWe found this gem of a wine shop during a recent weekend visit to St Malo. We were impressed with the range of wines, competitively priced together with the expert advice from the owners.Written November 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mikeykingWaterlooville, UK73 contributionsSpeaking very little French but always trying (and trying) we turned up just as a tour was finishing to ask if there were any English tours. Unfortunately there weren't off season but we got chatting to Marc Canax De Bowfils (sp?) the guide who said his English wasn't very good but would take us on a quick tour and attempt it in English. What a great experience! Just my wife and I and Marc, going around the house and hearing the history. His English was good and, to be fair, only needed a few more guided tours in English to sort out the rest.
Thank you Marc for a great experience and taking your time out to show us English non-French speakers a tour.Written April 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is where Jacques Cartier, the discoverer of Canada, received his blessing on his historic voyage and where he is buried. The cathedral was destroyed in WWII and reconstructed by the early 70s. The reconstruction was nicely done and did not affect the overall atmosphere of the church. It however added a bit of character especially in some of the stained glass windows where you can spot modern and contemporary designs blended with classical ones.Written September 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thebates22Chester, UK1,779 contributionsWe took a lovely walk over to Grand Be. Beautiful views, good footpath and not to busy (14-Sept-23 / afternoon). Defo worth a walk over, if the tides are low / out. If the tides are coming in be careful as you can get stuck (Emergency phone in place on the entry ramp footpath)Written September 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Humanitarian_GourmetKampala, Uganda38 contributionsBeing from Québec, I had interest in visiting the museum while my expectation was not very high. However, the museum was among my kids favorite in the region. The day we visited, they had ancient toys and workshop on tying knots. The house has a old maps that were very interesting. We also learned about the history of the discovery. We actually stayed for three hours beyond our expectations. Bravo to the team.Written September 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sandy DZeeland, MI342 contributionsThe island of Gran-Bé is only accessible at low tide and there is quite a climb up to reach the burial spot. Be careful to pay attention to the time the tide begins to return, because walking is the only way to reach this site. If you are trapped, you either wait between 8-10 hours for the tide to go down, or pay for an expensive boat return. At the request of the writer Chateaubriand, he wanted to be buried where he could hear the wind and the sea. He has a very plain spot, marked with a rock cross, and iron railings on two or three sides. The original grave was surrounded by iron railings but was damaged during
WW II. The panoramic view out to sea is magnificent. There is no charge for this visit.Written July 25, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
