Saint-Servan-sur-Mer

Saint-Servan-sur-Mer is a coastal neighborhood in Saint-Malo with harbors, beaches, and the Tour Solidor fortress rising above the Rance River estuary. The waterfront ties together different sections and shows how the area has always looked toward the sea.

The original settlement of Aleth became the seat of Saint Malo, the region's first bishop, in the 5th century. It later developed into a major port town with a strong maritime heritage.

The House of the Cross reflects the charitable mission that shaped this area's spiritual identity. Local religious traditions remain visible in the neighborhood's layout and buildings.

The Briantais Park offers walking paths and overlooks with views across the bay and river. The gentle terrain makes it easy to explore on foot at your own pace.

British naval forces destroyed multiple ships in the harbor during 1758 in a significant raid. This event remains part of the area's memory of 18th-century maritime conflicts.
