St. Malo

---

It was a short escape from the heat in Paris. There were a lot of interesting discoveries to be found in the city of corsairs and somehow we managed to discover most of them by squeezing ourselves into a busy schedule.

During this short two days city break, we visited

- La Ville Intra-Muros

- The château of Saint-Malo, part of which is now the town museum

- The Solidor Tower in Saint-Servan is a fourteenth century building which holds a collection tracing the history of voyages around Cape Horn. Many scale models, nautical instruments and objects made by the sailors during their crossing or brought back from foreign ports invoke thoughts of travel aboard extraordinary tall ships at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.

- The tomb of the writer Chateaubriand on the Ile du Grand Bé
- The Petit Bé
- The Cathedral of St. Vincent
- La Demeure de Corsaire, a ship-owner's town house built in 1725, shows objects from the history of privateering, weaponry and ship models.
