Saint-Malo

"This walled city on the English Channel coast had a long history of piracy, earning much wealth from local extortion and overseas adventures. Saint-Malo is built inside its tall walls, and it has a lot of sites of interest. The château of Saint-Malo, part of which is now the town museum, the Solidor Tower in Saint-Servan, the tomb of the writer Chateaubriand on the Ile du Grand Bé, the Cathedral of St. Vincent (Saint-Malo Cathedral), the Privateer's House ("La Demeure de Corsaire"), a ship-owner's town house built in 1725, shows objects from the history of privateering, weaponry and ship models, the Great Aquarium Saint-Malo, one of the major aquaria in France, and the labyrinthe du Corsaire (an attraction park in Saint Malo). And of course you can just walk around on its walls."

"This historic seaside city boasts huge fortress-like walls which give it a super cool medieval feel. (Apparently it used to be a stronghold for Monarchy approved pirates!) But aside from that, the city itself was such a delight to walk through. "

"A fortified city on the coast of Brittany, renowned for its rich history and stunning maritime scenery. Originally a stronghold for the region's pirates (corsairs), the city has preserved its historic charm."
