Fancy exploring Saint-Malo Bay in a different kind of way? Hervé is a sailor by profession, but also a storyteller. Aboard his semi-rigid boat, the Albatross, this enthusiastic sailor from Saint-Malo, who is also a gifted teacher, offers tailor-made trips to explore the treasures of the land from the sea. As you travel with him, you will rediscover the Rance Valley and the Emerald Coast; the 'Corsair City' of Saint-Malo, its stone ships and centuries-old history; or Cézembre, where time stands still. “Seeing Saint-Malo from the sea puts things into the right perspective,” says Hervé, with a twinkle in his eye.

When you add to all that the Caribbean colours that emerge at low tide, a bit of fresh air turns into sheer bliss!
