Saint-Servan

Saint-Malo
The charming neighborhood to the south of the center of Saint-Malo features fascinating historical sights, celebrated restaurants and busy marinas.

During your trip to Saint-Malo, head south of the ferry port to explore the delightful district of Saint-Servan. The friendly neighborhood offers some of the best restaurants and shops in the Saint-Malo region, as well as one of its finest historical attractions.

Stroll west of the neighborhood to seek out La Tour Solidor, a museum and medieval tower. The building was erected in the late 14th century by the duke of Brittany as a defensive structure and was later used as a jail. Climb its steps for stunning views of Intra Muros to the north and Saint-Servan to the east, before exploring the museum dedicated to Breton explorers and the voyage around Cape Horn.

Saint-Servan is also home to Le Port des Sablons, a marina that is typically full of elegant yachts. Ask at the outlets nearby about boat trips or diving excursions to Saint-Malo Bay.

Facing the port is the Bas Sablons Beach, a stretch of fine sand lined with charming houses. Come here with your family to enjoy swimming in the safe and still waters of the naturally protected harbor area. Lifeguards add an extra element of safety in summer.

Choose from one of many restaurants scattered throughout Saint-Servan. Dine on quick snacks such as crêpes and flaky pastries or find a cozy restaurant with harbor views for an evening meal. The town center is also a popular shopping destination, with over 200 shops in the heart of the neighborhood.

Head south of the district to find the Grand Aquarium of Saint-Malo, a family-friendly attraction with sharks, rays and turtles swimming in its tanks. Ride in a submersible for an immersive experience and meet some of the friendlier creatures in a touch pool.

Find Saint-Servan south of the Saint-Malo Ferry Port, about 20 minutes from the Saint-Malo train station on foot. The area is relatively easy to explore without a car, particularly in areas such as Parc des Corbières, which offers shaded walking trails along the ocean.
