Superb guided tour - Yesterday I took part in a guided tour on the theme of Saint Malo during the Second World War, and I enjoyed the experience very much. The guide knows his subject very well and plays his part very well: he introduced us to beautiful landscapes and shared exciting stories about the history of the city. The visit was rewarding, lively and well conducted. In summary: a very good time, perfect to discover Saint-Malo from a historical angle.

Visit Saint Malo World War II - Beautiful and exciting visit! Thanks to Jo, American soldier of the 83rd Infantry Division, we discovered the history of Saint Malo during the Second World War. Young and old learn a lot of things, it seems like it, especially thanks to pictures of the period that illustrate the words. The tour passes too fast! Our guide conveys his passion for this period of history, with good humor and attention to everyone.
