Overview

Imagine yourself in 1944, five years after the outbreak of war. Joseph Guthrie, American soldier of the 83rd Infantry Division and participant in the fights for the liberation of Saint-Malo, becomes your guide in period costume. Walk the streets of the city to the Grand-Bé peninsula during an unusual 2-hour visit, relive the summer of 1944, witness to the liberation followed by the destruction of Saint-Malo. This experience offers an insight into pre-war Saint-Malo and reveals the consequences of the occupation on the Saint-Malo city while discovering the resilience of a Saint-Malo city determined to rebuild itself. Guided by the personal memories of Joseph Guthrie, this unique experience offers a poignant historical perspective. Discover the realities of Saint-Malo's dark period during World War II, honoring the courage and determination that marked the city's history.

Engaging Historical Tour

Published on Aug, 2024

Very engaging and interesting tour with lots of historical details. It's a nice walk around St. Malo Old Town, with many stops along significant historical spots. The tour guide is very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of St. Malo, especially military details, during the second world war and shows many pictures, historical documents as well as army equipment. The tour is in French, and it's two hours of walking over cobblestone streets, stairs and even the beach which requires some physical fitness, so be aware of that before booking! If you do speak French and especially if you are interested in military history, I highly recommend this tour.
