Saint-Malo is one of Brittany's most iconic tourist destinations. A former corsair stronghold — home to the famous privateer Surcouf and explorer Jacques Cartier — the city was fortified by Vauban in the 17th century and its granite ramparts still stand proud against the English Channel. The intra-muros (walled city), rebuilt faithfully after 1944 bombings, forms a unique architectural ensemble of shipowners' granite houses, cobbled lanes and shaded squares. Beyond the walls, the Sillon and Bon-Secours beaches attract holidaymakers, while the Grand Bé (Chateaubriand's tomb, accessible at low tide) and the Fort National evoke the city's maritime history. Saint-Malo is also a major port: Brittany Ferries to England (Portsmouth, Poole), services to Jersey and Guernsey, and the nearby harbour of Cancale for oyster lovers. Taxis from Rennes are widely used by tourists arriving by TGV at Rennes station, cruise passengers, families on holiday on the Emerald Coast and travellers connecting with ferries.
Route
Route Rennes → Saint-Malo
From Rennes, your driver takes the N137, a toll-free dual carriageway heading due north to Saint-Malo. It is one of Brittany's busiest routes and the road is in excellent condition. You first cross the Rennes basin countryside with its hedgerows and dairy farms, then pass near Combourg, a charming small town dominated by the castle where Chateaubriand spent his childhood — the tranquil lake and medieval towers are visible from the road. After Combourg, the landscape shifts: you enter the Malouin country, windier, with stone walls and market gardens. Arrival in Saint-Malo is via the southern ring road, which bypasses the town and leads directly to the intra-muros via Porte Saint-Vincent or to the ferry terminal. The journey takes 55 minutes normally and can reach 1h15 on summer weekends (July-August) and during peak ferry departures.

Tips & best practices
Specific tips for the Rennes → Saint-Malo route
Parking inside Saint-Malo's walled city is virtually impossible in summer — a taxi is the ideal solution. Ask your driver to drop you at Porte Saint-Vincent (main entrance) or Esplanade Saint-Vincent depending on your destination. The rampart walk (1.7 km, free, 45 min) offers 360° panoramas of the sea, islands and harbour — an absolute must. Tides at Saint-Malo are among Europe's strongest (up to 14 m tidal range during spring tides): check tide times to access the Grand Bé or Fort du Petit Bé. The intra-muros market (Tuesday and Friday mornings) offers fish, shellfish and buckwheat galettes. For crepes, La Brigantine and Le Corps de Garde (on the ramparts) are institutions. The Thermes Marins de Saint-Malo offers thalassotherapy treatments overlooking the sea.
