Exploring the Breton region without taking a trip to Saint-Malo is like visiting Paris without going to see the Eiffel Tower. As you can see, Saint-Malo is a must-see destination and a key stop on your trip to this part of France. This municipality is located in the north-east of Brittany, on the coast of the Channel and on the right bank of the estuary of the Rance. It is located 75km north of Rennes and precisely 404 km from Paris. The \u201ccorsair city\u201d, as it is nicknamed, seduces not only through the beauty of its landscapes, but also its rich historical past. Without further ado, here are the ten essential things to do in Saint-Malo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
