Info. Saint-Malo in Brittany, France
Saint-Malo was founded by the Gauls more than 2,000 years ago and has a storied history. Built on the Brittany coast of the English Channel, Saint-Malo became an important stop for ships coming into and out of Western Europe. And because of its strategic location, Saint-Malo was, for a time, a favourite place for pirates, corsairs and privateers – as ships made their way through the channel, pirates waiting off the Saint-Malo coast could pounce easily while French authorities looked the other way. Now it's a tourist spot where visitors can walk down the city's historic streets.
