When to go to Saint-Malo?
Walk the ramparts and the Atlantic is on one side, granite walls and slate roofs on the other. At low tide the sand opens a path out to the Fort National, marooned in the middle of the bay until the water comes back. Between the spray at Bon-Secours beach and the cool light inside St Vincent's cathedral, the walled town keeps both its seafaring edge and its quiet lanes.
