🇫🇷 France Travel｜1-2 Day Itinerary for Saint-Malo & Dinard 💕

It’s my second time visiting Saint-Malo! For my first-trip guide, check my saved folder: 🇪🇺 Travel Guides. Getting There 🚌 Most weekend travelers to Saint-Malo depart from Rennes. If you can wake up early, take the 7:55 AM Flixbus (only €2.99/person) and arrive by 9:00 AM. Right next to the bus stop, you’ll find the ferry to Dinard (📍2 Av. George V, 35800 Dinard). Hop on the 9:20 AM ferry (check schedules in Fig. 2 & 3 🚢)—it takes just 15 mins! A one-way ticket costs €5.60, while a round trip is €8.20. Since Dinard is small, a half-day trip is perfect—just book the round-trip ticket. Exploring Dinard 🏖️ After disembarking, walk straight to the seaside—you might even spot a film crew shooting 🎬! Stroll along the coast and watch seniors doing water aerobics and happy pups running on the beach 🐕. Then, head to the town center—the highlight is the Saturday morning market, which is even better than Rennes’! For lunch, grab some grilled chicken wings (€3) or drumsticks (€4) from the market, paired with a Galette Saucisse + cheese �🧀—a perfect combo! 📍 Market location: Pl. Rochaîd, 35800 Dinard (City Park). After exploring, take the 1:00 PM ferry back to Saint-Malo. Saint-Malo Coastal Walk 🌊 Two main routes: 1️⃣ Lighthouse direction (visible right after disembarking). 2️⃣ Pre-city direction (where many high-tide cinematic shots are taken). Old Town Exploration 🏰 Visit the cathedral. Shop around—stores are centrally located. Candy recommendation: Les bonbons de St-Malo 🍬 (huge variety, €4.85/100g—even individually wrapped candies can be weighed together!). Afternoon Tea Break ☕ Kouign-amann (follow your nose—the most buttery-smelling bakery on the street wins!). Columbus Café & Co (great coffee, milkshakes + whipped cream, delicious & photogenic 📸). ⚠️ Pro Tip: Check Saint-Malo’s tide times online (Google "Saint-Malo marée") before visiting Grand Bé and Petit Bé islands for rock climbing, sunset views, and tide adventures 🌅. Bring spare sandals—waves can soak your shoes! Dining Time 🍽️ Saint-Malo is famous for seafood, especially mussels! Try LA PERLA DI NAPOLI’s €13.90 set (mussels + fries + ice cream)—so fresh, you can taste their natural sweetness! Ideal Itinerary Day 1: Beach relaxation. Day 2: Explore the Casino-area coastline, sit on a bench, and watch the world go by—time slows down here. #France #TravelFrance #SaintMalo #FrenchLife #ExploreBrittany #SeasideGetaway
