 | Saint-Malo Flights and Airline Tips | Tips 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
When I was planning this trip, I investigated rail transportation for going to Mont St. Michel and getting to our next destination, Amboise. It is possible, but required changes in a couple of places, so I decided on a rental car. It was ideal - a Renault Megane which is a large car, but we were meeting another couple in Amboise so needed room. The roads in the area were all excellent and I had no trouble finding my way to Mont St. Michel, Dinan and Dinard because there were signs leading me in excellent fashion.

From Paris's Gare Montparnasse, about nine TGV trains per day make the journey via Rennes, where a transfer is required. Trip time is 3 hours; cost is 50.60? one-way from Paris. The train station is a 10 minutes walk from the Intra-Muros. If you're driving from Paris, take A13 west to Caen, continuing southwest along N175 to the town of Miniac Morvan. From here, travel north on N137 directly to St-Malo. Driving time is 5 to 6 hours from Paris. Rennes is about 50 miles away, an hour by train. Leave a Comment Theme: TrainPhone: 08-36-35-35-35.

As one gets older, the use of a tourist train to replace or supplement on foot sightseeing becomes more attractive. In selective venues like Washinton, D.C. where distances are prohibitively long, this is a way to see important monuments. We found another way to climb hills by sacrificing part of trip in Dinan. In St. Malo the walking is level but the interior sites of the walled city may seem like a great deal after the ramparts and the ride may be regarded as a dessert to your tourist meal. More so if you have a fatigued youngster with you. (we also included a picture of the Chapel of St. Aaron honoring an ancient monk of the town, not covered in our Tips but on the train route). The train ride duration is 30 min and it leaves from the Porte de St.-Vincent near the tourist office.

St-Malo has a fabulous old city which is surrounded by some very solid looking ramparts (walls). So solid are they that much of them survived the bombings in 1944 when around 80% of the old city was destroyed. The walls are a few metres wide and were built over several centuries. You can walk around the top of the walls, a full circuit is about 2km. There are several places that you can access the walls, and there is no charge. From the top of the walls there are not only great views across the old town, but magnificent views across the bay and small islands at the mouth of the River Rance. You can also check out one of St-Malo's beaches, and watch the ferries arrive from the UK. Leave a Comment Website: http://www.saint-malo.fr/en/index.php4
