Saint-Malo, Brittany, France

The walled city of Saint-Malo, on the coast of Brittany, North West France, seen from the long concrete jetty on the Plage du Mole. The city was rebuilt 1948-60 after being largely destroyed during World War Two. It is a port which has traditionally been home to the corsairs, French privateers and sometimes pirates, and is heavily fortified with ramparts, a castle, fort and fortified tidal islands.
