Setting Sail on a New Adventure

As a digital nomad, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that won’t break the bank. When I heard about the Saint-Malo Bay Cruise, I knew it was something I had to try. The idea of exploring the historic city of Saint-Malo from the water was too tempting to resist. Plus, the promise of a small group setting meant I could enjoy the experience without feeling overwhelmed by crowds.

The day of the cruise, I arrived at the dock with a sense of excitement and anticipation. The boat was charming and intimate, with just enough room for our small group of twelve. Our guide, Nicolas, greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious enthusiasm that set the tone for the entire trip. As we set sail, I felt a sense of freedom and adventure that reminded me of why I chose this lifestyle in the first place.

Discovering Saint-Malo’s Rich History

As we cruised along the bay, Nicolas shared fascinating stories about the history of Saint-Malo. His passion for the city was evident in every word, and his knowledge was both impressive and engaging. I learned about the fortified city walls, known as Les Remparts, and the maritime forts like Fort du Petit Be and Le Grand Be. These historical landmarks took on a new life as I viewed them from the water, their grandeur and significance amplified by the gentle sway of the boat.

The highlight for me was the view of La Cite d’Aleth, with its tide gauge and the outer port of Saint-Malo. Seeing these sites from the sea offered a unique perspective that I wouldn’t have experienced on land. It was a reminder of the importance of looking at things from different angles, a lesson I’ve learned time and again during my travels.

A Memorable Experience

The hour-long cruise flew by, leaving me with a newfound appreciation for Saint-Malo and its rich history. Nicolas’s attentive and friendly demeanor made the experience all the more enjoyable, and I left the boat feeling both relaxed and inspired.

Whether you’re a solo traveler like me or exploring with friends, this cruise offers a unique way to experience the beauty and history of Saint-Malo. I can’t wait to see where my next adventure takes me, but for now, I’m savoring the memories of this unforgettable day on the water.
