Make the most of your stay in St Malo

St Malo wears Christmas well. Wander the walled old town and you'll find stalls selling Breton artisan food, seasonal treats, and traditional gifts, many clustered near the harbour and spilling into the surrounding streets. Markets typically run through November and December, so it's worth checking the official St Malo tourism listings closer to your trip for confirmed dates and locations. Once you've browsed, warm up with a galette or a bowl of moules, then find a spot on the ramparts to watch the lights come on over the harbour.

Booking your hotel is easy through our trusted partner, Booking.com, so you can find a place to stay before you set sail.
