A Weekend in Saint-Malo

Exploring Brittany's citadel along the English Channel

In May 2022, I took a trip to Saint-Malo. It’s a city in Brittany, a region in the North-West of France.

It’s also a region that shares the same name as the country to the north of the English Channel. In French, ‘La Bretagne’ refers to Brittany, and ‘La Grande Bretagne’ to Great Britain, with the ‘Great’ adjective being used to distinguish the larger territory from the smaller one.

Saint-Malo was actually a recommendation of a work colleague.

It was a long weekend and I had been hoping to just go somewhere.
