Saint-Malo
Saint-Malo
Event agency PREFERENCE EVENTS can organise your conventions and seminars in Saint-Malo, a destination simply brimming with character.
The city of brazen privateers, home to notorious French privateer Robert Surcouf, is sheltered by high walls from English onslaughts. Overlooking the sea with its high city walls, Saint Malo seems to have changed very little over the centuries. In fact it was partly destroyed during WWII, and very carefully rebuilt. The place is teeming with history, with narrow alleyways leading to Saint-Vincent cathedral and the Château built by the Dukes of Brittany. Outside the city walls, the Fort National, the Petit Bé fort, and Chateaubriand’s grave on Grand Bé island can be reached on foot when the tide is out. As a beach resort with its long Sillon beach, coming from a rich maritime tradition, Saint-Malo stands sternly facing out to sea.
Saint Malo is the ultimate nature and health destination for a seminar, on the Breton sea front. There’s bracing ocean air, bathing in cold water, some yachting and iodine-rich gastronomy including fish and seafood. The hinterland and the environs also feature treasures to be explored during your incentive trip or corporate event: Dinard and its casino, the village of Cancale and the wonders of the Mont-Saint-Michel.
There are top-quality hotels, including many 4- and 5-star establishments which can host events of average size: company seminars, board meetings, team-building trips etc.
Saint-Malo is the ideal setting to organise a seminar or incentive trip on a maritime theme.
