A salt-sweet wind pushes across the ramparts as the audio begins: a measured voice, a crackle of sea, and you set off along cobbled streets that still read like a coastline’s grammar. This self-guided GPS audio tour walks the walled old town of Saint-Malo, following ramparts, bastions, and narrow alleys where corsairs once checked the tide and the city checked intruders.
