Saint Malo, France

Not far west of Mont St. Michel is a nice walled city on the coast. I had a long history that [redates the Romans. The main fort was constructed between the 14th and 17th centuries. Was a port for Privateers. They have two ports. The interior port is controlled by a lock.

Man made tidal pool.
