Saint-Malo - 'a jewel in the Emerald Coast'

Boasting an array of ancient monuments thanks to its history as a lookout point across the English Channel, Saint-Malo is "a jewel of the Emerald Coast", its tourist officials enthuse.

Not only will it appeal to history buffs, but the resort also has things to suit sport lovers too, with a range of water sports on offer, including sailing.

The International House of Poets and Writers is also available for anyone hoping to experience a little culture on their Brittany holiday.

For anyone looking for accommodation close to Saint-Malo, Le Gouray could be ideal.

It has a range of small shops to stock up on essential French food, as well as being a great base for exploring the Breton countryside.

The French country air could also act as a tonic for anyone who feels stressed by city life at home, with plenty of footpaths along the cliffsides available for tourists to venture onto.
