THE SAINT-MALO ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Cathédrale Saint-Vincent

The restoration of this Catholic cathedral was celebrated with a ceremony on 21 May 1972. Located in Saint-Malo, Brittany, France, Cathédrale Saint-Vincent was founded in dedication to Saint Vincent of Saragossa. The inception of the cathedral was in 1108, and it was built on the site of an ancient church founded in the 7th century. Much of the construction took place during the episcopacy of Jean de Châtillon from 1146 to 1163. While the building stands today, some of its history was lost, such as an organ built in 1893 by Louis Debierre which was destroyed. This site remains a significant landmark of the city's religious history and architecture, reflecting centuries of endurance and renewal within the walls of Saint-Malo.

Château de Saint-Malo

Look toward the northeast corner of the walled city to find the Château de Saint-Malo. This castle is an historic building located in Saint-Malo, Ille-et-Vilaine, in western France. Its inception was in 1424, making it a long-standing fixture of the local skyline. It is a significant landmark that the French government designated a monument historique in 1886. You can also hear it referred to as the Château de la Duchesse Anne. I have spent plenty of time gliding over these ramparts, and I can tell you that the architecture here provides a great sense of the city's old defenses. Whether you are interested in the military history of the region or just want to see a well-preserved fortress, this site is a primary point of interest for anyone visiting the walled city.

Fort du Petit Bé

Let me show you Fort du Petit Bé. This fort is situated on a tidal island near the city of Saint-Malo, France. It is a classified historical monument that stands as a key piece of the local coastline. If you time your visit for low tide, you can walk to the island from the nearby Bon-Secours beach. While you are out there, you can also pick out the larger island of Grand Bé nearby. I usually keep a close eye on the tide levels myself, as getting stranded on a rock is a bit too much excitement even for a pigeon. It is a wonderful spot to observe how the sea changes the layout of the land throughout the day, provided you keep a sharp eye on the clock and the waterline.

Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Victoire

You will first notice the Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Victoire, which is a school building. It is a site that holds official recognition as a monument historique inscrit. If you look closely at the structure, you can see why it is also a classified historical monument. I find it interesting how the building blends its educational purpose with its status as a protected piece of the city's heritage. Whether you are here for the architecture or just passing through, it is a distinct point of interest in Saint-Malo. It is always a pleasure to show visitors these spots where the city's official history lives on through the daily routines of students and teachers in a protected setting.

Chapelle Saint-Sauveur

Chapelle Saint-Sauveur is a church building that was started in 1743. Located in Saint-Malo, the structure was designed by the architect Siméon Garangeau. It is a site that allows you to see the architectural style of the period in which it was founded. Since its early construction, the building has been granted a specific status of protection and importance. It is now officially designated as a monument historique inscrit. This recognition ensures that the church is maintained and preserved as a piece of the city's heritage. When you visit, you can observe the details of the design attributed to Garangeau and reflect on the history of the site from the mid-eighteenth century to the present day.

Tour Solidor

You might expect a single spire, but Tour Solidor is actually a castle composed of a strengthened keep with three linked towers. I can show you where it sits in the estuary of the river Rance in Brittany. It is a fortified tower and a keep that has been recognized as a classified historical monument. This structure is a sturdy piece of history that looks out over the water, providing a different perspective than the main city walls. It is the kind of place where you can really feel the weight of the stone and the scale of the old fortifications. I usually find the river breeze quite refreshing when I am perched nearby, watching the tide come in and out of the estuary.

STOP 10

Église Sainte-Croix

Église Sainte-Croix is a church building. It is designed in the classical architecture style and is recognized as a monument historique inscrit. This site is the result of work by several architects, including Amédée-François Frézier, Jean Datour, and Siméon Garangeau. When you look at the building, you can see how these architects shaped the physical presence of the church within the city. The classical style is a primary feature of the exterior and interior, making it a significant point of interest for those observing the local architecture. As you move through the streets of Saint-Malo, this building stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of Frézier, Datour, and Garangeau. It remains an important piece of the city's built environment, combining the specific goals of its multiple architects with the formal requirements of the classical tradition.
