La Tour Bidouane (Saint-Malo)
Les remparts de la ville, le Fort National et la plage du Sillon, coef. 115-117. Vitesse × 600.
Cela faisait 9 ans que le coefficient de marée n’avait pas atteint 117 (118 le lendemain, voir les vidéos depuis le Grand Bé, ici et ici). À occasion exceptionnelle, cadre exceptionnel : nous avons choisi Saint-Malo, la célèbre Cité Corsaire. En ce premier jour du printemps, la chance nous a souri avec une météo très clémente pour filmer le marnage, qui approchait les 12,70 m. La vue est celle depuis la Tour Bidouane, avancée semi-circulaire au milieu des remparts côtiers de la cité. On y voit les remparts (avancée dite du Fort à la Reine) et le Fort National, tantôt entouré par les eaux, tantôt accessible à pied sec. Malgré la brume de beau temps, on remarque les nombreux récifs au bas de la grande plage du Sillon, qui s’étend sur 4 km jusqu’à la Pointe de la Varde.

Places to see in ( Saint Malo - France )
Saint-Malo is a port city in Brittany, in France's northwest. Tall granite walls surround the old town, which was once a stronghold for privateers (pirates approved by the king). The Saint-Malo Cathedral, in the center of the old town, is built in Romanesque and Gothic styles and features stained-glass windows depicting city history. Nearby is La Demeure de Corsaire, an 18th-century privateer’s house and museum.
Walking through the cobbled streets of St Malo’s old town feels like you’ve stepped back in time. This popular tourist destination and busy ferry port offers visitors an authentic glimpse into Brittany’s important seafaring past. Once the feared base of pirates (corsairs), heavily fortified against Norman (or English) attack, today's Saint-Malo is one of the top tourist draws in Brittany. The star of the show is the atmospheric walled city (intramuros), largely destroyed in the Second World War but painstakingly reconstructed. The modern towns of Parame and Saint-Servan lie outside the walls. It is also the birth place of renowned French explorer Jacques Cartier who is famous for exploring Quebec.
Saint-Malo has a good bus system, with the main terminals located at the train station and just outside the walls(St Vincent). Get a booklet with maps and times from any bus driver. A one and a half hour ticket costs €1.15. Unfortunately there are no bus services late in the evening. The walled city is easily covered on foot, but you can also opt for a dinky Tourist Train that takes you and your wallet for a ride (€5.50).

Les remparts de Saint-Malo - Région Bretagne - Le Monument Préféré des Français
Les remparts de Saint-Malo - Région Bretagne - Le Monument Préféré des Français
Miraculeusement épargnés durant les bombardements américains du mois d’août 1944, les remparts de Saint-Malo forment un ensemble unique en France qui rendait la ville corsaire quasiment imprenable.
Au VIe siècle, un ermite gallois nommé Mac Low s’installe sur un ilot en face de la cité épiscopale d’Alet (aujourd’hui Saint-Servan). Au XIIe siècle, l’évêque Jean de Châtillon décide de transférer la cathédrale sur le rocher qui dès lors prend le nom de Saint-Malo de l’île. De l’enceinte médiévale, il ne reste plus aujourd’hui que les Petits Murs (XIVe) entre la Tour Bidouane (XVe) et le Bastion de Hollande (1674) et l’impressionnante Grand Porte érigée au XVe siècle. Aux siècles suivants, la cité de Jacques Cartier, dynamique et indépendante, prospère avec la découverte du nouveau monde, la compagnie des Indes Orientales et les actes de bravoure de ses valeureux corsaires. De 1708 à 1742, l’ingénieur militaire Siméon Garangeau, procède à l’agrandissement de la ville et à la réfection d’une bonne partie de son enceinte au sud et à l’est. Saint-Malo était également défendue par les célèbres chiens du guet : 24 dogues lâchés le soir à 22 heures pour garder les grèves. Soyez tranquilles, ils ne sont plus là ! Il vous faudra une heure pour faire le tour des chemins de ronde qui s’étend sur près de 2 kilomètres. Mais il n’y a pas de meilleur moyen pour découvrir la ville de Duguay-Trouin, de Chateaubriand et de Surcouf et la côte d’émeraude hérissée d’écueils et de forts qui la protège.
Saint-Malo, France - plage and Fort National
Saint-Malo France 2013, Fort National, on the English Channel. It is a sub-prefecture of the Ille-et-Vilaine.
Saint-Malo during the Middle Ages was a fortified island at the mouth of the Rance River, controlling not only the estuary but the open sea beyond. The promontory fort of Aleth, south of the modern centre in what is now the Saint-Servan district, commanded approaches to the Rance even before the Romans, but modern Saint-Malo traces its origins to a monastic settlement founded by Saint Aaron and Saint Brendan early in the sixth century. Its name is derived from a man said to have been a follower of Brendan, Saint Malo or Maclou.
Saint-Malo is the setting of Marie de France's poem Laustic, an 11th-century love story. The city had a tradition of asserting its autonomy in dealings with the French authorities and even with the local Breton authorities. From 1590 to 1593, Saint-Malo declared itself to be an independent republic, taking the motto not French, not Breton, but Malouin.
Saint-Malo became notorious as the home of the corsairs, French privateers and sometimes pirates. In the 19th century, this piratical notoriety was portrayed in Jean Richepin's play Le flibustier and in César Cui's eponymous opera. The corsairs of Saint-Malo not only forced English ships passing up the Channel to pay tribute, but also brought wealth from further afield. Jacques Cartier, who sailed the Saint Lawrence River and visited the sites of Quebec City and Montreal, and is thus credited as the discoverer of Canada, lived in and sailed from Saint-Malo, as did the first colonists to settle the Falkland Islands, hence the Islands' French name Îles Malouines, which eventually gave rise to the Spanish name Islas Malvinas. In 1758, the Raid on St Malo saw a British expedition land intending to capture the town. However, the British made no attempt on Saint-Malo, and instead occupied the nearby town of Saint-Servan, where they destroyed 30 privateers before departing.
In World War II, during fighting in late August and early September 1944, the historic walled city of Saint-Malo was almost totally destroyed by American shelling and bombing as well as British naval gunfire. Saint-Malo was rebuilt over a 12-year period from 1948-1960.
The commune of Saint-Servan was merged, together with Paramé, and became the commune of Saint-Malo in 1967.
Saint-Malo was the site of an Anglo-French summit in 1998 that led to a significant agreement regarding European defence policy.

The Saint Malo ramparts are a granite wall that encircles the city, built from the xii th century by the Bishop of Aleth John of the Grating. The construction of the ramparts of Saint-Malo began in 1144. Three quarters of the walls were replaced between 1708 and 1742 by the military engineer Siméon Garangeau, who realizes the extension of the city and the restoration of an important part south and east, allowing the interior of the city to grow to an area of 16 to 24 hectares.
The medieval walls of the city, leaving only the Grand 'Porte of the xv th century , part of the Small Walls between the tower Bidouane xv th century . A final processing is done by the middle of the xix th century between the fort The Queen ( xvii th - xviii th centuries) and the rider Champs Vauverts ( xvi th - xvii th century). Spared by the American bombings of August 1944, the ramparts of Saint-Malo are classified historical monuments by decree of July 12, 1886. The ramparts of Saint-Malo represent Brittany in the program of Stéphane Bern , The favorite monument of the French on France 2 for the season 2015.
The ramparts of Saint-Malo in Brittany surround the old city. Place of walk, they form a loop of nearly 2 km and offer a unique view of the ancient fortified city. The walk is called by the Malouins (inhabitants of Saint-Malo) the '' tower walls ''. A watchtower named Bidouane measuring 23m holds one of the most beautiful panoramas of Saint-Malo. During the walk on the ramparts we can see statues of famous Malouins such as Jacques Cartier who discovered Canada or Chateaubriand whose tomb is on the island of Grand Bé.
Built directly on the rock on which the city was built, the ramparts are maintained only by the weight of the superimposed stones. The city of Saint-Malo was destroyed several times during the history but the ramparts never gave up. They resisted the fire that ravaged the city and the bombing of the Allies during the Second World War (the latter has also destroyed 80% of the city).

Fort National is a fort on a tidal island a few hundred metres off the walled city of Saint-Malo. The great military architect Vauban had it built in 1689 to protect Saint-Malo's port. The fort was originally called Fort Royal. Fort National is a fort on a tidal island a few hundred metres off the walled city of Saint-Malo. The great military architect Vauban had it built in 1689 to protect Saint-Malo's port. The fort was originally called Fort Royal.
The fort stands on l'Îlette rock. This was originally the site of a beacon that was lit at night to act as a lighthouse. Îlette was also a place of public executions for the seigniory of Saint Malo, which burnt criminals there. Latter a gallows occupied the site. A model in Saint-Malo's history museum suggests that a battery may have occupied the site before the erection of the Vauban fort.
The engineer Siméon Garangeau built the fort following Vauban's plans, and on the orders of King Louis XIV. Construction seems to have taken from 1689 to 1693. The fort augmented the defences of the city, and was part of a chain of fortifications that stretched from Fort-la-Latte to Pointe de la Varde. The original fort was a rectangle, built of granite, with two half bastions at the south, protecting the gate. A drawbridge gave access across a dry moat. Inside the fort there is a long building that contained quarters for the officer and troops, and equipment rooms.
On 26 November 1693, a fleet of 30 English and Dutch ships appeared off Cap Fréhel. They cannonaded Fort-la-Latte and Ébihens island, and then sailed towards Saint Malo. Three days later, the Anglo-Dutch force captured Fort de la Conchée and Cézembre island. For their attack on Saint Malo the English had brought a vessel packed with gunpowder to use as a floating mine against the city's defences, but it ran aground short of its target. The crew of the vessel were able to set off their bomb, but it was too far from its target to do any harm.
The American 83rd Infantry Division was responsible for the liberation of Saint Malo, including Fort National. The fort itself was liberated on 16 August, but not till after allied shellfire had damaged it. The fort was later restored in accordance with Vauban's original plans. One may visit the fort when the fort is flying the French flag. Access is only possible at low tide during the period from 1 June to 30 September and on certain other days. To see the daily opening times see the fort's website.
