Within the old city walls of St Malo you will find narrow cobbled streets and perfectly aligned buildings with granite façades. It's hard to believe that most of them were restored, if not rebuilt, after 1944! In high season and at the weekend the whole area hums with activity as people explore the shops and restaurants concentrated between the château and the cathedral. The town is also close to some fine sandy beaches (Môle, Bon Secours), which begin to unfurl at the foot of the ramparts.
