🌊 Saint-Malo Summer Escape: A Perfect Day Trip!

First time in Saint-Malo, and I’m obsessed! ☀️ Even in July/August, the weather is mild—perfect for sunbathing and soaking up the sea breeze. 🚄 Getting There (Paris → Saint-Malo): Direct summer trains run frequently (2h15min–2h50min, depending on stops). My schedule: Arrived by 11 AM, left at 9 PM—plenty of time to explore! 👣 Exploring on Foot: 15–20 min walk from the train station to the old town (see map 🗺️). No need for transport—everything is walkable! 🎡 Must-Do Highlights: 1️⃣ Ferris Wheel – €8 for panoramic views. I got 10 spins (and a suspenseful 1-minute pause at the top—thought I’d be stuck forever! 😂). 2️⃣ Saint-Malo Cathedral – Free entry! ⛪ 3️⃣ Sanchez Artisan Glacier – Famous gelato shop near the cathedral. 🍦 4️⃣ Kouign-Amann de Saint-Malo – Buttery, caramelized Breton pastry. 🤤 5️⃣ Poterne d'Estrées – Quaint photo spot! 📸 6️⃣ Estuaire de la Rance – Scenic river estuary. 7️⃣ Bon-Secours Beach Pool – A seawater pool with diving steps! Jump in for a refreshing dip. 💦 🦪 Lunch with a View: L'Amiral Saint-Malo – Seaside restaurant with €40–50 menus. Fresh oysters + ocean vistas = chef’s kiss! 👌 🌅 Pro Tips: Walk the ramparts—but avoid midday heat! North beaches are quieter, ideal for photos of wooden stakes and fortress backdrops. #SaintMalo #Brittany #DayTripFromParis #SummerInFrance #SeasideTown #TravelGuide #HiddenGems #FerrisWheelViews #FrenchCuisine
