A very nice immersion - I recommend more than ever this visit to a part of Saint Malo from another time and in a particular context. Our guide was exceptional, he knew how to interest us for 2 hours, by involving us (adults and children). I'm not going to reveal any more... It's up to you.

ST MALO during the war 39/44 - You will follow our IM for a first-of-its-kind visit to St Malo in 1944 with a guide who knows his subject well within everyone's reach. Very friendly he takes care of his group and especially the children. For the Falkland Islands as for those who want to discover the city from another angle. To do!

Thank you again for this moment - Corentin is a passionate and exciting storyteller, we left before the war in the blink of an eye, thanks to a clear and complete tour of the theatre of operation before starting our walk in Saint Malo. Punctuated by stops in front of iconic places and listening to anecdotes and stories, we have not seen the past time. Photos and maps to support, we lived on German time throughout the tour. Finally, liberation and reconstruction before returning to the present, to regretfully leave Joseph GUTHRIE, our guide to this moment of History. We will not hold back the bad weather, which came without being invited, but which did not discourage our group led by a Jo perfectly mastering his subject, and authentic from the sole of the rangers to the net of the heavy helmet.
