Tall Ships at Saint-Malo this summer

Saint-Malo in Brittany is welcoming once again the Tall Ships Races this summer, the event will take place from the 5th to the 8th of July, famous in the middle ages for being a fortified island controlling the estuary and the open sea and later, particulary during the 18th century when it became the home of the French privateers and Pirates, today Saint-Malo is the most visited place in Brittany, tourists look for the walled city, the tomb of Chateaubriand, Saint-Vicent's Cathedral, and the Aquarium, also Saint-Malo has one of the greatest concentration of restaurants in Europe, I have visited the place many times and can hardly think of a better place to be during this period, please visit my tall ships blog for all information on this fantastic event http://vmf-tallships.blogspot.com.
