Ritika Shah
Cochin, Kerala, India
Saint-Malo A walled port city on the English Channel is indeed very picturesque. Its modest population increases tremendously during the tourist season in summer. The city was an important port during the Middle Ages, controlling the entrance between the sea and the Rance River. Later it even became a home for the pirates and the sea voyagers.The town has a castle and is famous for its traditional houses, that happen to be quite unusual.St Malo has several districts, the most popular being intra muros or ‘inside the walls’. The tall granite buildings, most of which were restored after being bombed during the war, house an interesting mix of cosy hotels, restaurants to suit all tastes and shops by the dozen. Take a tour on the little train to get your bearings or enjoy a bracing walk around the ramparts. The Musée de la Ville tells you all you need to know about the town’s history and includes some fascinating maritime objects like the prow of a ship.
