Program & Itinerary
Discover Saint-Malo, Dinan and Brittany’s Emerald Coast
Set off from Saint-Malo on a private full-day tour that combines fortified towns, river views and coastal elegance along Brittany’s Emerald Coast. With your expert guide, explore Saint-Malo, medieval Dinan, seaside Dinard and the historic Montmarin estate, with a local tasting included.
Walk the Ramparts and Streets of Saint-Malo
Begin inside the walled city of Saint-Malo, the famous Corsair City. Walk along the ramparts to understand how this former island defended itself, and admire the belt of offshore forts such as Le Fort National and Le Grand Bé. Stroll through the maze of narrow streets, from tiny Pelicot Street to lively squares, as your guide brings to life the stories of ship owners, “legal pirates” and wartime destruction.
Panoramic Views from Saint-Servan and Alet
Cross to the original settlement at Alet in Saint-Servan for a 180° overview of the bay and the Rance river mouth. See traces of the 18th‑century fortifications and German World War II batteries, and better understand the strategic importance of Saint-Malo through the centuries.
Discover Medieval Dinan Above the Rance River
Continue to Dinan, one of Brittany’s most impressive medieval towns. Located high on a cliff above the Rance, Dinan offers cobbled streets lined with timber‑frame houses and a remarkably preserved town centre. From the British Garden near Saint-Sauveur Basilica, enjoy sweeping views over the river, port and old trade routes that once brought wealth to the city.
Tasting of Local Breton Specialities
To fully experience the region, enjoy a tasting of local products such as oysters and Breton whisky, cider or Calvados (selection may vary). This friendly moment is the perfect opportunity to learn more about local gastronomy and traditions with your guide.
Elegant Seaside Atmosphere in Dinard
On the way back towards Saint-Malo, stop in Dinard, a former fishing village transformed in the 19th century into a fashionable seaside resort. Stroll past Belle Époque villas, admire the sea views and feel the relaxed yet elegant atmosphere that made Dinard famous with holidaymakers.
Visit the Montmarin Estate on the Rance River
Finish your day at the enchanting Malouinière de Montmarin, a historic ship‑owner’s countryside residence hidden on the banks of the Rance. Discover its remarkable listed gardens, panoramic river setting and models showing the estate and shipyard in the 18th century. Entrance and tasting are included, offering a peaceful and refined end to your Emerald Coast experience.
Return to Saint-Malo
After this full day of history, scenery and flavours, your guide drives you back to Saint-Malo. This private tour is ideal for travellers who want to experience the very best of the Emerald Coast in one day, with commentary tailored to their interests.
