Discover the Malouinières from Saint-Malo. Wind your way through fields of cabbage, along quiet lanes and enjoy the homes of the shipowners of Saint-Malo. Often hidden behind the carved woodwork of formal gardens, these grand houses are typical of the Corsair city. Along the way, in Saint-Malo’s Rothéneuf district, you can visit the Musée Jacques Cartier. This 16th-century manor house tells the story of the city’s native explorer. Return to the city, alternating between cycle paths and secondary roads, and return to the ramparts along the seafront.
