Overview
Be captivated by the coastal city where echoes of corsairs and conquest linger on this self-guided audio tour. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Saint Malo.
Every cobblestone and sea breeze in Saint Malo seems to whisper a tale of resilience, adventure, and the enduring spirit of Brittany’s captivating coastal city. On this walking tour, you’ll embark on a journey around its walled old town to see its hidden treasures.
I’ll show you three of the old city’s gates, starting with Saint Vincent Gate, where I’ll tell you why you’ll see ermines everywhere in Saint Malo. On your way to the Big Gate where our tour ends, you’ll walk along Saint Malo’s ramparts, hear its surprising history and learn a thing or two about the area’s climate.
By the end of this tour, you’ll have gained a new appreciation for this slice of Brittany, its history, and maybe, just maybe, a new sense of humour courtesy of the Malouins who call the city home.

It was amazing! Beautiful sites and views. The audio tour does not take you all around the walls/ramparts. But the descriptions and GPS mapping were right on!

Nice and enlightening visit

I think it is a very good way to get to know the city at your own pace, in my case I had a coffee break and then continued the visit, so that was great, and even if you can do the visit in the 75 minutes I higly recommend to take your time and enjoy the views.
I also found the stories and comments about the city very interesting!
