Scenic Emerald Coastal Drive

St. Malo

Scenic Emerald Coastal Drive
  • Shopping time included

by coach & on foot

This half-day experience is perfect for photography lovers, coastal explorers, and those looking for a relaxed yet enriching experience along Brittany’s stunning coastline.

Departing from the historic port city of Saint-Malo by coach, your journey will take you to the charming seaside village of Cancale, renowned for its world-famous oysters and stunning harbour views. Here you will enjoy a photo stop followed by free time to explore the town, stroll along the waterfront, or savour some fresh seafood.

Next, your scenic drive along the Emerald Coast continues down one of France’s most picturesque stretches of shoreline, pausing at a scenic viewpoint to capture unforgettable photos of the rugged cliffs and turquoise waters. On a clear day you can at times even see Jersey in the distance.

Finally, your coach returns to Saint-Malo with a short panoramic drive through the city, giving you a glimpse of its ramparts, beaches, and timeless charm before arriving back at the tender landing stage.
