Saint Malo

Gorgeous walled city on the Brittany coast with the Chateau which used to be one the residencies of the Dukes of Brittany. One of the very few towns in France that has its original medieval defensive city walls perfectly preserved! Seriously damaged during World War II, it has been restored to its former 18th century splendor after a spectacular reconstruction. Busy and picturesque port, pleasant beaches, quaint streets, nice restaurants.

Dinan

Spending time there is like walking through a Disney fantasy!
Divided into 2 parts, the upper town, on top of the hill, with fragments of its medieval city walls, and the lower town which started as a passage through la Rance river during the early Middle Ages. Streets lined with splendid half timbered houses and restaurants serving delicious crepes!

Mont Saint Michel

A Benedictine Abbey built on top of a rock stranded in the middle of the bay and surrounded by the sea with various buildings dating from different periods between the 10th and the 15th centuries. Visiting the Abbey's cloister "suspended" above the bay is a truly mystical experience!
