Description
Here be pirates. Seafaring maps of old might well have included this warning note about the port of Saint Malo, as the most memorable chapter of this fortified city was written during the 17th and 18th century, when its cobbled streets witnessed the regular passing of corsairs and pirates, dragging the fabulous booty of treasures from East and West in their wake. Today, remnants of the era can still be glimpsed in forts, museums and popular culture that tell of the maritime exploits of Jean-François Roberval, René Duguay-Trouin and Robert Surcouf, but also of Jacques Cartier's ground-breaking voyages to the New World.
