I took the guided tour with my son and this is one of the rare German WWII bunkers that have been restored to what they looked like during the occupation. The guide was very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about the site. Well worth a visit with impressive views overlooking Saint Malo and Dinard.

Managed to arrive when open on second attempt (our fault for not checking times). We went by bus from town centre. The story is well told, and the whole site is fascinating.

It was amazing to see the destruction of St Malo and what... More

A part of Patton's army was charged with taking the town of Saint-Malo because we needed the port. The town is a walled city with ramparts 35 ft thick and the Germans were nestled deeply into a granite "Ile d'Alet" to protect the harbor as part of the Atlantic wall.

Wandered over from the town museum with high hopes having heard a lot about it and seen other hints and examples of the extent and consequences of the American destruction and the extensive reconstruction. The force and determination of the Nazi defence as well as the almighty prolonged onslaught of the liberation is obviously important to the towns identity. But... More
