The City of Saint-Malo
Visit the Ramparts...
A walk rich in views...
The high wall that surrounds the city of Saint-Malo forms a loop of about two kilometres. It is possible to go down and up wherever you like, from the various staircases located at each gate.
We advise you to start the walk through the Porte Saint-Thomas, located behind the Place Chateaubriand. From this access, you will have an exceptional view of the large Sillon beach on your right, the National Fort opposite and the Grand Bé islet on your left.
The first part of the walkway will lead you to the Fort à la Reine, where at its feet exploded the "Machine Infernale", an English ship loaded with gunpowder with the aim of destroying Saint-Malo and which ran aground on the rocks between the Fort à la Reine and the Tour Bidouane. Looking to the left, you will see the famous Rue du Chat qui danse.
The cat who, according to the story, was the only victim of this infernal machine.
The House of Québec
The Maison du Québec in Saint-Malo opens its doors to visitors during the summer season and offers many activities that highlight Quebec, its culture and its society. It offers visitors the opportunity to discover artists, creators and practitioners in a variety of disciplines. Information is also offered on tourism, work and mobility programs.
To visit the Maison du Québec is to come and meet today's Quebec, which is innovative, creative and faithful to its history. It is to discover or rediscover a society that never stops reinventing itself.
The Maison du Québec was made available to the Quebec government by the City of Saint-Malo in 1984. It was inaugurated the same year in the presence of the Premier of Quebec. Since then, the activities have continued to grow and evolve over the seasons.
