Hello my dreamers,
I hope you spend a great fall 🍁
In this short article, I’ll go back to my little weekend spent in Saint-Malo last summer ☺️
Less than 3 hours by train from Paris Montparnasse, Saint-Malo is a destination that I highly recommend for a weekend by the sea without traveling too much time.
I didn’t think it was such a cute and charming city! And there is a lot to see in a weekend even if I admit that I was not able to visit everything because I was accompanied by a pregnant woman who had to rest a maximum so we mostly basked on the beach 😅 but we still had a great weekend!

First of all, when we come out of the train station, we can easily find a bus just in front to bring us into the city center in just 10 minutes. You can buy a rechargeable/reusable transport card 👍
Even if you haven’t planned anything for your stay, you can very well improvise your days by enjoying the beaches, strolling through the pretty cobbled streets, or going around the ramparts. You can also take a ferry across the sea and get to Dinard in 10 minutes for less than 10€.
Watch out for gulls
I must warn you against gulls! They are very numerous and can annoy us such as defecating on our arm while sleeping on the beach (which happened to me 😅) or even stealing our food. We saw a poor little boy have a big donut snatched from his hands by a seagull who watched him from the sky and then rushed at him. His donut fell to the ground and then dozens of gulls rushed to devour it. So, hide your food and eat fast XD
Beaches
If you like large beaches, you will like the Éventail beach, except that you may not enjoy it for long. Indeed, around 4:00 p.m., the tide was so high that the entire beach was underwater. Those who didn’t expect it and who had gone to bathe lost their belongings in the sea :/ so be careful.
Bon-Secours beach is smaller, more crowded, but you can keep your place on the beach without being submerged. I find this beach atypical because you can admire it from the ramparts and its particularity is that there is a free swimming pool with a diving board in the sea. It is filled with seawater and when the tide goes down, the pool is emptying.
If you go to the beach in the morning, the tide will be low, which will allow you to see next to the swimming pool, a passage to get to Grand-Bé, a small island with an old fort, and the tomb of the writer Chateaubriand.

If you walk along the beach by taking the stairs near the children’s area, you will find a good secluded stretch of beach that is very pretty to photograph.

Restaurants
During this little weekend, we enjoyed our meals very much ☺️
We became familiar with the Hector family, the inescapable restaurateurs of the corsair city, by going to eat only in their establishments haha 😅
Here are the places where we ate and which I recommend:
- Le Lion d’Or
