Description

Ahoy there, matey! Welcome to France's most defiant port, Saint-Malo. This city was once a haven for criminals and adventurers, where pirates were celebrated as heroes in the service of the king. It has a history of resilience, having survived a ship loaded with gunpowder and later rising from the ashes of devastation. Here, the locals prefer cider over wine, buckwheat pancakes over baguettes, and have a penchant for humor about the rain. Let's not drop anchor for too long. You'll need to discover whose statue gazes towards the British Isles and why Napoleon had a desire to fell all the apple trees in Brittany. I'll share the tale of how Saint-Malo managed to remain independent from both France and Brittany for four years, and the story of Little Jean from the shore. If you can keep your attention on the helm, you'll uncover the secret of Dancing Cat Street and the legend of the fluffy white ermine on the city's flag. Are you ready to take this city by storm?
