The Corsair City of Saint-Malo, 1720

Saint-Malo in 1720 sits at the height of its corsair riches: shipowners’ granite mansions crowd the ramparts and the quays roar with prize money and barrels of Newfoundland cod. This walk follows the city from the bay and tide-islands, along Garangeau’s walls and bustling quays, through the cathedral’s pinched lanes and market yards to the open sea beyond the Sillon.

23 scenes, 15 streets, squares and views, 8 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Saint-Malo as it stood in 1720 (“Saint-Malo”).
