Les Remparts de Saint-Malo, Coastal fortification wall in Saint-Malo, France.
The stone ramparts stretch for 1,754 meters around Saint-Malo, reaching heights of 16 meters with nine entry gates along their perimeter.
Built in the 12th century under Bishop Jean de Chatillon, the walls underwent major renovations in 1691 when military engineer Simeon Garangeau replaced medieval towers with stronger bastions.
The ramparts contain multiple historical gates, including the 15th-century Grand'Porte and Porte Saint-Vincent, which represent different architectural periods of French military design.
Visitors can walk the entire length of the ramparts for free, accessing them through multiple entry points and observing the English Channel from various vantage points.
The walls incorporate private mansions built with two levels of vaulted cellars that extend below sea level, demonstrating advanced medieval construction techniques.
