| SAINT-MALO has often been compared to a big ship waiting to set sail on the open sea. Nothing could be more appropriate. The city walls make up the hull, with the crenelated battlements as portholes and the church spire rising above it like the main mast. Saint Malo's flag ("A white cross on Azur") proudly flies from the castle dungeon. Ever since its foundation, the city's fortunes have been linked to the sea and the daily ebb and flow of some of the most powerful tides in the world. |
