Amazing town with a long history of piracy, nautical exploits and oversea’s adventures
Les Remparts de Saint-Malo的点评
点评:The impressive walled city of Saint-Malo history traces back to Roman times; it has a long past of piracy, filibusters and oversea’s adventures and legends.
While having been almost wiped out from the map by the Allies heavy shelling and bombing during WW2, it has been reborn from its ashes where it was and how it was after 12 long years of reconstruction from 1948 to 1960 to stand with pride on the shores of the English Channel (La Manche in French).
Saint-Malo is one of the most visited places in Brittany, for its beautiful sites, such as: the Walled City; the Castle; the Solidor Tower with a collection tracing the history of the travels around Cape Horn; the Tomb of writer Chateaubriand; the Saint-Vincent Cathedral; the Privateer’s House; the Great Aquarium; among many more.
If you are not too keen on museums and historical places, Saint-Malo is just as great strolling around looking at lovely boutiques and shops also recounting its nautical past. There is an amazing shop for spices from around the globe. Then take a rest in one of the many brasseries and enjoy the lively atmosphere of the town.
Should you be a sailing enthusiast, every four years in November, do not miss the departure of the ever famous « Route du Rhum », a transatlantic yacht race between Saint-Malo and Point-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, in the Caribbean.
翻译:圣马洛这座令人印象深刻的古城历史可追溯至罗马时代;它拥有悠久的海盗、冒险家和海外探险与传奇故事。
二战期间,盟军的猛烈炮击和轰炸几乎将其从地图上抹去,但经过1948年至1960年长达12年的重建,它浴火重生,在原址上恢复了昔日的风采,如今骄傲地屹立在英吉利海峡(法语:La Manche)畔。
圣马洛是布列塔尼最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一,拥有众多美丽的景点,例如:古城墙、城堡、索利多塔(塔内收藏着有关合恩角航行历史的文物)、作家夏多布里昂墓、圣文森特大教堂、私掠船船长故居、大水族馆等等。
如果您对博物馆和历史遗迹不太感兴趣,圣马洛同样值得您漫步游览,欣赏那些讲述其航海历史的精美精品店和商店。这里还有一家令人惊艳的香料店,汇集了来自世界各地的香料。之后,不妨在众多啤酒馆中选一家小憩,感受小镇的活力氛围。
如果您是帆船爱好者,那么每四年一次的十一月,千万不要错过著名的“朗姆之路”(Route du Rhum)帆船赛。这项跨大西洋帆船赛从圣马洛出发,最终抵达加勒比海的瓜德罗普岛皮特尔角。
