Saint-Malo: The epic of the privateers behind the ramparts
During a stay in Erquy, a trip to the corsair city of Saint-Malo is a must. An easy drive from Camping du Val, this iconic Breton town plunges you into a unique maritime world, where the history of the great explorers and privateers still echoes from the ramparts. It embodies Breton strength and pride in the face of the ocean.
The corsair town and its fortifications
The fortifications of Saint-Malo, rebuilt after the destruction of 1944, are an architectural masterpiece. A tour of the ramparts is an unforgettable experience, offering panoramic views of the ocean, the islands of Grand Bé and Petit Bé (accessible at low tide), and the rooftops of the old town. The town itself is a labyrinth of lively streets, shops, restaurants and bistros, inviting you to stroll around and sample the local produce.
Proximity to major sites is a major advantage of Camping du Val. After an active morning exploring Cap Fréhel, you can easily devote the afternoon to exploring Saint-Malo.
A stopover between history and modernity

This balance between the calm of nature and the hustle and bustle of the city will enrich your stay. Visiting Saint-Malo means following in the footsteps of Jacques Cartier and Duguay-Trouin, and letting yourself be carried away by the spirit of adventure that characterises this town.
Camping du Val is the ideal base for holidaymakers wishing to alternate between coastal pleasures (beaches, hikes) and the major cultural visits. Don't miss this opportunity to discover Saint-Malo's exceptional heritage during your stay.
