- Saint-Malo: the Corsair City
No trip to the Pays de Saint-Malo would be complete without a visit to the corsair town itself. Stroll along Saint-Malo's ramparts for stunning sea views, explore the intramuros with its cobbled streets and historic buildings, and soak up the city's maritime history. The wide sandy beaches and nearby islands, such as the Isle of Cézembre or the Chausey Islands, also offer plenty of opportunities for relaxation and adventure.
- Combourg: At the Heart of Romantic History
Combourg, often dubbed the "cradle of Romanticism", is a charming little town dominated by its imposing castle. It was here that François-René de Chateaubriand, the famous French Romantic writer, spent part of his childhood. The Château de Combourg, surrounded by its verdant grounds, is open to visitors and offers a glimpse into the world of the great writer. The picturesque narrow streets of the village, lined with half-timbered houses, invite you to take a stroll.add your text
.- The Ille-et-Rance Canal: an invitation to serenity
The Ille-et-Rance canal is a veritable oasis of tranquillity, linking Rennes to Saint-Malo. This navigable canal is lined with towpaths perfect for walking or cycling. Along its banks, you'll discover bucolic landscapes, historic locks and charming villages. Leaving from La Richardais, with Les Croisières Chateaubriand, a Clévacances partner, a boat cruise on the canal offers a unique and peaceful perspective of the region.
