[SLOVENSKO] :: France / Bretagne / Ille-et-Vilaine / St. Malo
St. Malo with its walled, medieval nucleus and narrow cobblestone streets is interesting coastal town of Northern Brittany. It is situated on the right bank of the estuary of the Rance River at its mouth. The old town is surrounded by a wide wall that provides a promenade around the old town nucleus. The town was largely destroyed during World War II. but it has been well rebuilt. St. Malo is North Brittany's top port and a very popular summer destination. In St. Malo live 50,000 inhabitants all year-round, but swells to 200,000 in the summer seazon. Very impressive is a tidal range. Spring-tides sometimes rise 15 metres above low-water level, and the sea sometimes washes over the ramparts.
