St Malo
by Blaze
View of the old town of St Malo, France.
St Malo was almost completely destroyed during WW2 and the old town "intra muros" was carefully reconstructed as near to as it was before the war, using old plans. It is very austere, with tall buildings of granite and slate, and cobbled streets.
It is a popular holiday destination with its magnificent beaches, ferry port and marina and many people go for thalassotherapy - sea water treatments which are said to be very beneficial due to the quality of the salt water.
