  3. C

    Mémorial 39-45

    The pretty fishing port of St-Servan sits southwest of the walled city. Constructed in the mid-18th century, Fort de la Cité was used as a German base during WWII. One of the bunkers now houses Mémorial 39-45, which depicts St-Malo's violent WWII history and liberation and includes a 45-minute film in French. Some guided visits are conducted in English; call ahead to confirm times.
