Day one: best walks around the Gulf of Saint-Malo, including Sillon de Talbert

Leaving the port of Saint-Malo, travel west to Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, a village promontory jutting into the Gulf of Saint-Malo. If your visit coincides with low tide, you’ll be able to walk on the seabed around the entire village, and to Île des Ébihens.
