St-Malo is one of the most beautiful and touristic port cities in Brittany, North West of France, along the Emerald Coast. This walled city was originally built as a citadel that later became home to most feared pirates. It was almost completely destroyed in the second world war and later painstakingly reconstructed to be what it is today.
