Saint-Malo,near by the Hôtel de l’Abbaye

Saint-Malo is a coastal city built on a rock surrounded by walls. This peculiar situation and its long history have made of Saint-Malo one of the major touristic city in France and North Brittany.
It was once an antic city torn between Romans and Celts, then an important harbor wanted by kings and lords, so Saint-Malo was always the object of utmost covetousness. It will then become an essential trading port from where will depart expeditions and sailors to discover the new world. Having made its fortune this way, Saint-Malo will be ruined by french revolution and rebuild slowly as a coastal and touristic city. Partially destroyed by bombings during wolrd war II, Saint Malo will try to rebuild itself with an identical architecture. Since then, it has remained a pleasant port and a nice touristic costal city.
