To enhance your stay, a
hotel by the sea in Saint-MaloA hotel set against the ramparts of the corsair city could do the trick, couldn't it? But because the splendour of Upper Brittany is not limited to Saint-Malo, our team recommends that you spend at least half a day in Cancale, an exotic town where you can taste excellent oysters and enjoy the scent of the sea.
A port town 30 minutes from your hotel in Brittany by the sea
Located less than 30 minutes by car from the Hôtel de la Cité, Cancale is the perfect place to spend a superb romantic weekend in Brittany. Famous for its wild flat oysters bred in shoals and fished in deep water, Cancale is worth a visit thanks to its pretty and very atypical port.
Town of 5,000 inhabitants,
Cancale has been elected as a "remarkable site of taste", which means that you will probably succumb to all its iodized delights. In addition, not far from the port of Cancale, you can admire the splendour of Mont Saint-Michel, which stands in the middle of the bay.
Romantic and unforgettable scenery in an enchanting setting
The Port de la Houle, the picturesque "back streets", the oyster beds, the many restaurants along the quays, there is no doubt that you will be charmed by the relaxing and authentic atmosphere of Cancale. There, you will be cut off from the world and from the little worries of everyday life. The team at your hotel in Brittany by the sea recommends that you take a walk along the Sentier des Douaniers, which offers many memorable views. If you have the time, stray to the Pointe du Hock. This will give you the opportunity to get a bit of height and admire the many marine parks in the region!
Don't forget to make a diversion to the Pointe de Grouin. En route, you will alternate between wild creeks and discreet anchorages. You will be so delighted that later, in milder weather, you will return to Cancale to find a protected beach and swim there! We bet you will!
