Presentation of Saint-Malo

The city of Saint-Malo (in Breton Sant Malo; 53,000 inhabitants, called Malouins) is a sous-préfecture of the department of Ille-et-Vilaine, in Brittany. It is located on a peninsula (formerly a rocky island, linked to the mainland by a chaussée built in 1509) on the right bank of the wide estuary of the river Rance. The sea resort of Dinard is located across the Rance. The Bay of Saint-Malo spreads from the eastern part of the city to the Pointe de la Varde. In 1967, Saint-Malo absorbed the neighbouring municipalities of Saint-Servan and Paramé.
