Camping Saint-Malo

A family trip to Saint-Malo is an opportunity to admire a host of historic buildings that bear witness to an illustrious past. From the city walls to the castle via La Demeure de Corsaire, once a privateer’s mansion house now open to visitors... embark on a journey through time that promises to be a fascinating and informative experience for travellers of every age. 

Animals may also feature high on the agenda during your family holiday in Saint-Malo! Visit the mini zoo and the large aquarium and let your little treasures admire all sorts of amusing creatures! This is also a great idea for a rainy-day activity (yes, it sometimes rains in Brittany!). And for a warming treat for body and soul, head to Rue de Toulouse to sample one of the Breton specialties: the crêpe... best topped with salted butter caramel, it goes without saying! You’ll also find an array of shops brimming with lovely artisan souvenirs to take back home with you.

Pull on your walking shoes and set off on a hike between land and sea along the Customs Path! It stretches along the Côte d’Emeraude and offers breathtaking views – get a welcome dose of fresh air while you feast your eyes! What could be better than exploring Brittany’s natural wonders while getting some exercise? A wonderful and (very) enjoyable way to stay fit! There’s also plenty of fresh sea air to be had on the Grande Plage du Sillon, the ideal beach for a romantic stroll in any season... and to indulge in the watersports of your choice – try sand yachting, catamaran sailing, and more.

Or how about a British-flavoured escapade for two? Nothing could be easier! Just hop on a ferry to Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands. The crossing lasts just under an hour and a half and takes you to this little corner of England for a visit of Elizabeth Castle and the maritime museum, a stroll through the narrow streets of Saint-Hélier, the island’s capital, and a chance to sample Jersey’s cuisine!
